You can try to glue it into place with some silicone. This is a common issue, but it is more cosmetic than anything else. If you can find good trim and remove it without damaging it from a junk yard, by all means, do so. Grab all you can and sell it here!! Replacement from the dealer is crazy expensive, something like $100-180 each piece, depending what it is. I plan to look into some rubber softener/reconditioning products first.

I have heard using heat will soften it back up, but getting the right amount of heat to soften it without actually melting it or burning it is the hard part.

I fixed the windshield one by changing my windshield, glued a new molding in.(frined that worked for a glass company hooked me up with a little 'extra') Not very helpful but it solved my issue.
