window trim
One of my rear most window trims was not sitting properly so I carefully leveraged it of hoping to re-seat it but for the life of me can't get it to stay put. The top part where it meets the rear door keeps popping out anyone got any advice how to fit these properly? It's a metal chrome trim.

I was trying to make the point that BMW don't epoxy it in the first place so I must be doing it wrong. But saying that if all else fails I may well take your advice.

Most likely the little clips that hold it in place have busted. The photo below shows the little clips that hold it in place, they are built into the trim.
