You likley have a broken clip in the channel. You can get replacement clips from Mitsu or use some silcone

Those things are a ***** to replace.

I would suggest a dealership. I've gotta have mine done.

I wouldn't recommend that - too likely to trap moisture and cause corrosion problems. Have a reputable dealer replace appropriate clips.

I should have been more specific Sorry

I still wouldn't recommend silicone - the amount needed to hold a small portion of the molding down can interfere with the drainage and air circulation under the molding, and end up causing problems. Go with the clip replacement and do it right.
