Default Rear Windshield Lower Molding Question

The lower molding on my car is absolutlely deteriorated and I bought a new replacement molding. My question is, do I need to add glue to the molding since it didn't come with an adhesive already on it? It looks like the original molding had some adhesive. I attached some photos to help illustrate the part.

How is your upper molding? I replaced mine as they were sticky and falling apart. The adhesive is only used to hold it in place and if the new one feels secured i probably wouldn't add any. Otherwise, you could apply a little but be careful, its messy stuff!

Haha yeah! I just replaced mine about half a year ago too. I should've replaced this bottom one then but oh well. I guess I'll just slip it on and see how it fits. Was afraid of ripping the old one off cause I don't have adhesive for the new one.

The weather stripping does not require an adhesive, it just slides on.
