Default Weatherstripping is coming off.

Hello everyone! The Jags weatherstripping is starting to come off a little bit near the top of the windshield. Not too sure if this stops the water from coming in; or whether if it's that crucial. I'd love to get some input on how to repair it and if it's crucial. Thanks everyone!

3M makes a quality weatherstripping adhesive. I'd reseal it, then condition the gasket itself. You could also silicone the gap & trim the excess off flush with a razor blade not sure how finicky you are about it being a perfect match to the current gasket though.

Easily done as has been described.
The screen seal on these is purely decorative as the screen is vulcanised to the
aperture.
