I try pushing the molding back down but pops back up WTF?? very strange.

My last Titan had the exact same problem. I never did solve it. I think the only solution that makes sense from anything resembling money is a little bit of black 3M sealant, push it into place and tape it down while the sealant dries, and clean up the excess with some mineral spirits before it dries.

....or you could use the automotive grade superglue jell which is clear.

I'm completely missing one side of mine. It was doing that exact same thing and then someone hit a huge puddle next to me in a rainstorm and the amount of water that hit the windshield completely broke it off the cowl. I've just gone without it, not like it was doing anything in the first place with how it was barely hanging on.

Is this part available to buy? The molding? I have checked various Nissan Dealer Online schematics but nothing really shows that particular 2 piece molding.

If we just leave it off will it mess anything up? No one really misses it, and doesn't really look odd without it.

Unless someone has a part number and I try putting a new one on?

Kinda strange and Goofy Design really.

I wasn't able to find one when I was looking and I haven't noticed any adverse effects from not having it other than when I notice it I'm annoyed.

OK that is good to hear, Only thing I can see is dirt and dust getting into the cowl area. Shouldn't hurt anything you would think. Especially if the molding just falls off anyway. Nissan builds this tough looking truck and then puts these cheap parts on it. Just boggles the mind.

I guess one could just silicone bead a strip all across. This was mentioned before. I wonder if a Glass Shop has something that may work? I mean if they replace windshields, and this just fell off they must have something that can be put there?

My wife and I love this truck. We get asked often why we just didn't buy a "New" Titan instead of the 2015. Its simple really, and its not to mock the new Titan at all its just perspective but I feel my wife said it best...."I like the style of the older Titan better, it looks Tough and Brawny, Like its pissed off and will kick your a s s, where as the new one will ask you to politely step aside and get out of the way". haha. Her words. Of course the New Titan is nicer on the inside and probably safer in some ways, but looks and all are subjective.

Thanks for all your help folks......

You're not the first person to express that mentality. The new Titan has a great interior, if they could put it back into the old body style. The new body style just looks bloated. Which is funny because the Ram has gotten bigger as well, but it looks sleek, not bloated. So it's not as if they can't increase the space or footprint of the truck and still keep nice lines.

I thought about using silicone, but if I wanted to take the cowl off to repaint it I'd have to put down more silicone/peal the current stuff off.
