Weatherstripping on a 2012

[VanillaGorilla]

Last night i noticed a small piece of the protective film still remaining on my car. It was along the top of window on the passenger side rear door. As i was attempting to remove the film i pushed the weatherstripping back and to my surprise the weatherstripping popped off. If i chose to i could have taken out several more inches of weatherstripping going in either direction. I easily popped the weatherstripping back into place and the door seems to close just fine. I looked at the drivers side rear door and i was able to remove the weatherstripping as well. I was wondering if anyone else is able to do this or had this happen to them? I was surprised at how easily it came off. My experience with weatherstripping has been that there is some type of adhiesive holding the weatherstripping onto the door.

Yes this has happened to me on a 2009. Same place as yours - passenger side rear door. I just put it back, but it is something to check now and then to make sure it stays in place.
