Default problem with weather stipping

In the "shoulder" of my '00 coupe back glass (right behind the driver side door), the weather stripping has gotten very messed up. It is like it doesn't fold up into the coupe door. Now, whenever I close it, I have to manually tuck it back in.

Any suggestions? Can I heat it up and hope it gets back into shape? It is cold right now, so I know that doesn't help it.

Thanks in advance:

If you're talking about the weather stripping between the rear of the roof panel and the fixed roof mine was similar afte being removed and replaced several times due to poor workmanship in some shops.

According to the invoice for some work I had done recently, my insurance company paid $108 for a new one.
