Just a dab or 2 or 3 of black silicone gasket sealer should do the trick. Do it on the back side and no one will see it.

Glue it is:Thanks for your input

I feel your pain, mine did the same thing.I tried the glue as Roland suggested but the under hood temps melted the glue.I finally just got myself 2 hose clamps and tighten them around the rubber grommets (so to speak) and that solved the issue for me.Now granted when you lift the hood you can see the hose clamps but its sure better than lookin at lopsided headlights from the outside.This was only an issue on my 1200, my 2072 has never had that problem.

Didn't think about a heat issue.They do make high temp silicone,used for fire stop in the trades,I think I will try that.

It doesn't get hot enough under the hood to need high temp silicone. If you going to use RTV, regular will handle the heat. I know for sure it doesn't get as hot under the hood as it does on the engine itself. Regular RTV will handle the heat. I still say weatherstrip adhesive. Silicone is messy, and I'm not convinced it will stick to the glass and the rubber. Plus takes a while for it to set. Weatherstrip adhesive is fast setting. Minutes.
