Top windshield molding off

well, as I was driving down the highways going 80mph i hear something hitting my roof. After driving a few min having no clue what it is, I pulled the car over and realized that it was the top molding from my windshield. I tucked it back in but after driving about 20min it came out again. So after a while i just decided to take it off.

Now when i bought the car the windshield was not from nissan so maybe the company off this windsield didnt do a good job.

Anyways, what should i do now??? and im assuming I new a new moulding, where can i buy one??

Any help is appreciated

THANK YOU

Go to a glass shop. I tried to glue mine back on with horrible results.

My guess would be that your molding fastener (see item #6) was damaged during the glass removal. What you need to do is remove the old stuff, clean the surface real good and put on a new molding fastener in there and just pop the molding into the fastener.
