I've got the same problem on my passenger side. It's popped off down towards where the cowl is and I can't get it to go back in place. Let us know if you find an easy fix for it.

happened to me....took it to a window repair facility, he added whatever glue they use and it fixed it for a couple months, then it came back...the entire passenger side was loose and getting inside the car with my passenger side window down. i just walked outside with some superglue and put a light coat all up and down the inside of the stripping and put it back on....hard as a rock and doesnt look like its gonna move anytime soon and there is no residue on the windshield. super glue for the win!

only other fix according to the window guy was to replace my windsheild, which was in perfect condition.
