Rear window rubber coming off
I have a Civic hatchback, and the rubber seal around one of my rear windows (the ones that don't open) is peeling away. Can I just get some kind of epoxy to stick this back on, or do I need to peel it off and put on a whole new gasket? Can I get the gasket at someplace like Auto Zone? If not, any recommendations for where I can buy it online, and what I should look/ask for exactly?
Thanks in advance,
~Owen

Re: Rear window rubber coming off (JUN EK9)
Actually, I ended up buying some silicone adhesive sealant, and that stuff works great. Such a large patch of the rubber had come off that I'm having to do the repair a few inches at a time, but it's holding up well during driving in the meantime. Since the rubber has shrunk somewhat with age, I'm going to have to use a heat gun on it to stretch it out and do the last bit, but otherwise I think this was a nice cheap alternative ($4) to buying all new rubber.
