i've tried to shove them back into place, but there seems to be extra tubing.

Call a winshield Repair and replacement Shop preferably not a big Commercial one. Tell them your issue. If you find a good shop they will look at it for free, maybe even fix it free. Sometimes when your glass is repaired or even when initally installed on a car The moldings around the door panels don't fit correctly or are the wrong ones. Universal moldings work best in this situation. If the windshield or doorglasses have ever een repaired or replaced this is the problem. A glass guy can try to refit and stick these or order you a new molding $30-$50 tops, Then install it. But, like I said get them to look at it free.

Go to a local parts store or dealership (it may be a dealer item only and you will have to pay for it up front if they don't have it in stock) and get a new seal. They are easy to put in.

NAPA sells an adhesive that works for the weather seal around doors. It is around $9.00 a tube. Just ask them they will have what you need.

You can fix it pretty easy, slide them up where the belong, and slip a dab of rubber cement under them,

Yes a stripper can fix this. It is just some contact cement unless they are old and rotted.

J. B. Weld should be able to attach it back on. Or any strong adhesive. Read the labels.

I have a similar problem on my eclipse. I took it in one time, and they said it would cost me money to get an estimate.

you dont want to pull them off b/c when it rains, it will leak into your car....use a glue that is made for rubber, and no, not rubber cement....and just glue them back to where they are supossed to go

Yeah, you can buy the molding strip and do it yourself however I would have them replace it.
