Default Weather Stripping at the top of the windshield

Took my t-tops out today and noticed that this weather stripping is no longer sticking to the top of my windshield. Any recommendations on what adhesive I can use to reattach this?

Windshield adhesive may be a good starting point, but I'm not familiar with this area... http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de....oap?pt=N04004

You can apply urethane between the glass and weather strip and tape it to the glass. this should hole it in place. Give it about an hour with express urethane before you take the tape off.

It looks like it has pulled away due to shrinkage so I don't know if simply gluing it in place will work or not.

As long as it will go back to the glass it will hold. During install sometimes the molding isn't installed right. Its a good idea to put some windshield primer on the glass edge before the urethane. This step is sometimes missed. You can get a small tube at your local glass shop.
