Trim Seal came Loose, Suggestions?

Anyone else had their MINI's window/trim rubber seal start to come loose. See attached photo. Stick in the photo to make it obvious the trim is loose near my back window passenger side.

Any ideas on fixing this? I was thinking I could just glue it with JB Weld or something. Thoughts?

Thanks

Looks like it actually slips down into the plastic chrome piece.
Does have any glue residue on it now?
JB weld may work. Probably have to use some painters tape to
hold it in place until glue dries. Also, clean it off with some alcohol
before glueing.

You probably haven't gotten any hits on your question due to the
thread it's posted in.

May want to post it in whatever gen it is under stock/problems.

Thanks for the reply

I did wipe it down with alcohol and even though I have JB Weld and use it a lot, I used clear silicone and it's been 24 hours... seems to be holding.
