Mine did that just this past summer. I got a tube of Plummers Cement and ran a strip of it along the area that came out and stuck it back in (this is done with the window down so you can get into that area from inside the rear seat area). Put the window in the up position for a few days and it hasn't come out since. It dries clear and holds really well. It's even water resistent. It's like a $2 fix.

hmmm sounds good. so you used the same weather stripping that fell off you just used the plummers cement to stick it back?

Yep. It's pretty much how it was held in in the first place. You will see a little groove in plastic moulding and on the back of the weatherstripping there will be a lip that fits right into there. All Ford did was use some contact cement and connect the two (it wont stay in just by pushing it back into the slot). By using the Plummer's Cement I just upped the holding power. It's not that bad to do. Just take your time and use a small bead of it the entire length of the weatherstripping and let it dry completely.

Plummer's Cement? Is this PVC cement?
