Hey, Im not sure if this would even belong in this section, but this is the closest thing i could find to what I am trying to ask, and id rather bump this than start a new one.

That being cleared up, my trim on my rear windows of a 97 Civic EX Coupe is nasty and old, and now falling off on the forward part of it (pictures below). Now from what i understand there is Back-to-Black, Mothers, and others. I have been using WD-40 when it gets too rough on the actual windows seals to keep it soft, but this rear trim is worthy of being replaced.

Now, i was going to glue the trim back on for now, it sits in place but barely, but i have a feeling i would regret that later. Would you all recommend I just use some Back-to-Black, ect, or could you refer me to a site that sells these trims? AutoPartsWarehouse - they claim it is universal, but the rear seal is definitely different from the front window as far as i can tell. Suggestions? Before i just glue it back for now and forget about it till it leaks water -.-

It could be bearable, but things like this really bothers me.

Back-to-Black isn't for reattaching trim, it's only for restoring the faded black to normal black.

You need new trim. I would only buy OEM. They sell it on hondapartsdeals.com, hondaautomotiveparts.com, and other dealership websites

Well the problem is its all stiff so it wont sit in place, probably not even if i glued it. But this is exactly what i was looking for, thank you!

You're welcome.

I understand now though. The rubber has hardened. There's not really anything you can do about that but replace it.
