Plastic Molding Between Hood & Windshield

Don't know what this is called, but mine kinda flaps in the wind. On both sides about where the wipers are is where it flaps. Can't really tell how it attaches, but it seems loose against the windshield side. Anyone have any ideas? Don't really want to go to dealer if it's something I can fix myself.
Thanks Wayne

There are supposed to be clips that hold it in place.
When I had the windshield replaced, the geeks broke the clips and never said anything.
I used silicone.

Well it was really windy today, and running down the inerstate at 70 made it worst.

Yes I have a bug deflector. You think that has an effect? I've had my truck a little over a year now. Seems I would have noticed this problem sooner.
