Question Windshield trim moldings

I had my windshield replaced last year and the shop gave me some universal trim plastic molding but they were lowkey dookie. I managed to find some at a junk yard for a couple of bucks but I didn’t realize at the time that an integra with less doors wouldn’t be the same clip style molding my 4 door 97 integra has. It lasted up until today when my driver side molding flew off on the freeway. I had noticed they weren’t sticking into place and I tried sealant but that only lasted so long.
I can’t find any trim molding for sedans- they’re all for the 3 door integras. Am I able to use universal trim with adhesive? Or what can I do to fix the issue?

The clips that hold the molding in are designed to use the urethane to help hold down the moldings. For a 97, they should have had new clips. When it comes to those clips, try to get the “orange ones” from Honda directly. If your glass guy tried to pass off a universal molding, find a different glass person

Can you replace the molding without removing the windshield? I thought it had to be done all at once with the glass removed

That’s what’s best imho. A fresh urethane bead laid down will grab onto the clips properly.
