Better go check your rear window rubber seal

My 2010 I just bought 3 weeks ago I noticed the rubber seal for the rear tailgate window was coming loose in 3 of the 4 corners and 1 corner was coming off in a big way and that's how I noticed it. It appears to be glued on. I really don't want to waste 3 hours of my day to have the dealer slop some glue on there. Wonder what I can use to just do it myself? Better go check yours!

Is your window operable, or is it fixed? Just wondering if it's the weatherstripping around the operable window that you are referring to, or the seal around the fixed window.

Didn't know some rear tailgate windows were a "fixed" window?? Mine opens/closes and is not fixed.
