Car wash blew off car roof rubber strips...

The strips are still there, they just won't go back into place anymore, they're all loose now.

Has this happened to any of you? How do I fix this? Are the strips glued down? Any ideas on how much it would cost for the dealership to replace or how much the part is so I can do it myself if it's possible?

Never going through a car wash again....

That happened on my old 2000 Accord once, long after I gave up lovingly hand-washing and detailing it, in favor of quick and easy automatic car washes. The rubber roof strips snapped back in to their respective grooves after a little bit of finessing around with them.
