You might he able to just retack that bit down with some sealant of sorts. Something like window silicone perhaps? I know that liquid nails makes a pretty good clear sealant..

It appears you still have some broken glass in the track clean that out and go from there.

get a new seal set for your window. i have to also as mine is the same way. they are on ebay for 25 bucks or so and have the lower one that goes where your arms sits, both sides of the main window, and the ones for the wing window.

i don't think thats glass in there, i believe its a reflection from the flash on the glue or sealer inside the seal. not too sure how i would be able to glue it down? seems like someone must have tried that already.

superj ... would you be able to explain how you replaced them when your done so i have an idea for mine? thanks
