You've answered your own question... Cure it...
Pound to a pinch if **** It''ll just need re-sealing...
Do you know wether it's the top windscreen finisher that's lifting...... or if it's the header that's playing up...
TTFN
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The N/A-Team.

If it is the top windscreen finisher lifting - you could always tape it up with thick masking tape and see if the noise disappears, and if that cures it - remove the tape and try filling with Sikaflex -I did mine because it was looking tatty - it looks better - not perfect but better than it was - used masking tape to get a clean sharp edge.
Dunno if this helps - replacing the finishing strip looked like it would be too difficult and expensive -don't even know if you can still get them - no-doubt someone will know
