My front trunk seal will just not stay in place. How does it stay in?
Thanks, Finn |

I used this. 3 M Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive. Yellow. Commonly referred to as "snake snot" worked perfect on mine
Good luck  |

QUOTE(Lucky9146 @ Jul 5 2017, 09:31 AM)  I used this. 3 M Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive. Yellow. Commonly referred to as "snake snot" worked perfect on mine Good luck I think that there are black gasket adhesives out there which will do as good of a job & not scream YELLOW around the edges of your gasket. Permatex makes a good one which we used on our 88 Westy's pop-top seal, which has a lot of pulling forces when lifting the top up. And what mark/Mikey914 said - whether his 914Rubber repros or factory seals - the bottom is usually flat(-ish), & IIRC the 914 Factory Repair Manual says to run a small bead in the tray on the body [not on the seal bottom]. If not adhered, then the seals tend to pull apart at the 8 corners - especially the front corners ones around the headlight buckets. If yours tear/separate, then you can use that same Permatex gasket/seal adhesive to repair them with a dab inside the joint at the corners, then adhere in place in the tray. Good Luck!
