Default Windscreen trim failure

Hi. Has anyone come across this before? The broken section of trim just presses back into place. Then after a while pops out again. I can find a way to make it stay there; what I'd like to know is, is this meant to be a seal proper, or just a trim? It looks like the latter, just want to be sure. Thanks.

Sorry, the server crapped out on me. Here's (hopefully) the pic. Anyway, you've confirmed my suspicions Kristo, thanks.

Edit: Aaaargh! Can't get pic to work.

Edit2: Have put it in my gallery: Broken windscreen trim

I had that trim start to crack on my AU (when it was new) and had it replaced under warranty.
Got the usual 'never seen that before' statement from them but it was replaced anyway.
The rear windscreen will do the same and that too was replaced as well.
