Front passenger door window seal/weatherstrip

[IIGood]

I hope I can explain this without needing a picture...here goes...

From inside my '03 XLT, I can hear air coming in while driving. The sound is coming from the passenger door around the window seal or weatherstripping. If I push on the black strip, then it makes it seal up and there's no more wind noise.

I've taken a closer look as I've just discovered what that piece is. As the window rolls up or down, it's part of the "track" that keeps the window in place. On my Explorer, the weatherstripping seems to be pulling away from the frame at the rear of the door (the vertical portion).

I tried to press it back into place but it doesn't seem to have anything to grab on to. Does anyone know if that seal is supposed to just "snap in" to the actual door pillar? Or can I just get some weatherstrip adhesive and apply that?

I've tried finding a picture online but coming up empty...if a picture is needed, I could snap one later of exactly what I'm talking about.

I don't know if I can help much, but my 2005 has the same problem. I have secured the seal with weatherstrip adhesive, and it has marginally improved the seal, but it still is noisy with the window all the way up. I have to actually tap the button quickly to LOWER the window glass ever so slightly to reduce the noise. I have noticed that all the weatherstripping on the truck is of poor quality, particularly the rear hatch glass, that one is horrible. And I have not found any replacements. Fortunately I do not have to park outside.
