Default Windshield Top Trim Moulding

I was driving home from work today and all of the sudden it sounded like someone was jumping up and down on the roof of the car. I pulled over and saw that half of the top windshield trim moulding had come out of the groove and was banging on the roof.

Anyone had this happen? How does it attach to the roof/windshield?

Should just tuck in behind a lip there and has a few screws in it. When it is brand new, there is sticky in the corner and down at the bottom near door hinge (one simply peels the protector to expose the self stick).

Watched em' install my windshield, I insisted on new parts like the seal (aka weatherstrip).

Thanks, but I'm talking about the one that goes across the top of the roof between the windshield and roof. It looks like it just pulls right out, don't see any screws.

First time I've heard of that piece coming loose. Hope someone knows how to reattach it and can let you know.
