Advice: Windshield Trim

Hey Gang, the black rubber winhsield trim on my '04 is loose on the top. As soon as I hit freeway speeds, it pops up and I get a horrible whistle. I can push it back in. I had the windhsiled replaced about 30,000 miles ago under warranty and now the car is out of warranty and the dealer wants $500 to take the windshield out and repair the rubber. Anyone else having this problem? Has anyone fixed this without taking the winshield out? With all the rain here lately, I am concerned that water will leak in.

Thanks,
Michael

Take it to a notable glass installer and let them look at it. The trim does not hold windshield, as windshield is glued to car and then trim added.
