Default Body Molding Question

Hey Guys, So I have a 2 part question here...Below is a link to a picture of the strip molding on the Top of my car (the one located in the center) that just keeps popping out. Well not all completely, but just the tips from where the windshield is, and the then the tip on rear window part as well...

1. This is the Sunroof Drains Correct? Located Under the Strip I mean?

2. What do you guys recommend i can use to glue this thing down? Or Make it stay down? I dont want to block the drains with any glue or excess stuff either, because the last thing i want is for the drains to get clogged and have the water backlog into my car...


Any information you guys can provide would be helpful. Thanks.

I may not know how to look at pictures in you link, but it appears to only be one picture with the sunroof closed and not sure what piece is popping up. The sunroof drains cannot be seen with the sunroof closed, only open. See link for a good video on the subject. As far as adhesive, I would go ask a dealer or bodyshop. They stick stuff back on all the time.

some manufacturers call these "ditch mouldings" they simply cover the welded joint between the side panel and the roof panel. there are no drain tubes or any thing else under them. They do not look too bad in your picture, I would leave them alone unless they continue to lift further. A body shop or body supply store is your best bet to get the proper adhesive if you must.
