Default Targa trim loose tinted type

The trim along the front edge of my top is loose enough to show space between it and the acrylic at the center. I can force it back on but the poor fit then just moves across the leading edge. The trim along the sides appears firm. It did not come off easily along the sides but I haven't forced it.

I assume that the trim is held by adhesive but wanted to confirm that fact. If not then I will pull it off and refit. If it is fixed in place, then I will probably just distribute the gap along the leading edge.

These tops are problematic for the condition you are describing....I've been looking into doing a similar repair....with an structural acrylic epoxy combination.
