ncranchero, that does look like the weatherstrip that is missing from mine. It looks like it was glued into a track in the outside moulding. if yours would come out, I think I could use weatherstrip adhesive to glue it into mine. the south carolina heat must have gotten to the original adhesive. heres a photo of the track 008-2 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
thanks for your help.
thanks for your help.
I have a 2003 Sport Trac with same issue on rear window weatherstrip/seal (outside wiper) detaching from frame. I have the strip (that Steve/ncranchero sent to you), but I would like to know which adhesive you used and if it is still holding up?
Thanks

I think I used 3M weatherstrip adhesive, I ran a thick bead in the track and then pushed the weatherstrip in to it. It's a cramped place to work so I would test fit it dry to make sure you got all the old adhesive out of the track so it will fit right. It is still holding well, I am worried that when it gets hot it will stick to the glass again though, that's what I think happened the first time.

It's difficult to describe and I could post a pic of the groove/lip I'm trying to describe if you would like. Also, you did do this repair without removing the window, correct? thanks again, in advance- Mark

I cleaned out that groove in the weatherstrip real good, I think the adhesive pushes up into it and helps hold it in the groove. I installed it with the glass rolled down, and just pulled the interior panel back as far as I could without cracking it. I put something in between the weatherstrip and glass to keep the weatherstrip pushed in to the groove while the adhesive set up. hope this helps.
