Any hints on how to fix the "smiling rear window gasket?". Mine got loose after taking off the plastic door interior trim. It will not hold tight on the metal flange and falls right off. It can't be tucked into the plastic either. Is adhesive a good solution? Problem is that water gets in that area and fills the inside of the rubber trim. Even if I do manage get it to stay, the next rain will puddle water in the rubber channel and take it right off.

I would try some contact cement. Use some waxed paper or something similar so that you can position it where you want it. Just remember that once you stick it, you'll not be able to move it unless you use alcohol or some solvent.
