Yep...the stuff that Volvo sells to seal the weather stripping is $24 for a tube. So I called my windshield installer (never had a leaky windshield from these guys, ever and they've done 3 for me in the past) and they recommended Black Super Weatherstripping Adhesive #82 (part #81850) made by Permatex, which I bought from Autozone for $3.99 a tube. I plan on "patching" the area where the stripping has lifted away from the glass until things warm up and dry out so I can buy fcpgroton's weatherstripping (actually Volvo OEM...dealer price is over $100) piece and replace the whole thing after getting all the rust off of the metal sunroof frame. Thanks to Papa_Kirlo for taking the pictures and explaining things to me (the link you provided) and thanks to you Klaus for posting this and increasing everyone's awareness to this issue.
