Default Detaching rear hatch seal (pics)

Good day all,

I own a DC integra. Very recently, I've noticed the seal between the top of the rear windscreen and the roof is coming off. To be exact, the left side is detached. Hopefully the following photos will explain this better:

(Area where the seal is attached-how the seal should be)


(How the seal is attached with adhesive under the top of the rear hatch)


(Area where it is detached- Seal pulled out to show it better)


(You can see how its suppose to sit and the area from where it runs off)


Possible solutions:
1) Rangi job by applying adhesive to re-attach the seal. However, I won't be able to get to all of it as the gap is too small to get to closer to the middle. (Not my preferred choice as it will only get half the job done.)

2) Get a new seal from Honda. But how would I remove the old and re-attach new seal gently without any major hassles?

Appreciate any suggestions

Can't you get to that easily if you just open that hatch. Then just press it down on like it should be and close the hatch to get it to fit back to its original form....atleast that would seem like the logical solution.

You're probably best off just pulling the hatch and doing it.

I'm pretty sure you just have to pull the headliner down to unbolt everything.

Thanks for the response so far guys. Anyone who has actually replaced or repaired the seal?
