Default Rear Window Flap

Hello. What is the rubbery lining on the rear window called? Mine is damaged, and I want to buy a new one. 2005 C6 Base. Thanks.

Mine falls quite often, I just slap it back into place. I would also like a more permanent solution!

I just put a dab of Black silicone sealant inside the track, and it has not moved since. Can be easily removed by pulling on it, but it will not fall out by itelf.

Just put a couple of dabs of silicone about every 12 inches on mine just a couple of hours ago.

That what I did, and the problem went away.

Put some 3M weatherstrip adhesive a couple of places, press back into place and the issue is solved. I have fixed several coupes with the 3M and no more problems.

Since my rear window is tinted and you can’t see that I just leave it off.
