boot rubber adhesive

Post by docgibbons »

i've had to replace my perished rubber boot seal, but does anyone know the best/correct type of adhesive for this job. don't want to perish the new rubber by using the wrong type of glue/adhesive.

My 2-door saloon came with no seal fitted, but two spare lengths in the boot! They didn't have any sticky back, so I used impact adhesive.

I've used evostick time-bond a few times in the past - it doesn't work nearly as well in the middle of winter (for obvious reasons) but it does smell nice and should be used in a well ventilated area - and not with all the windows closed when you're sticking carpets in place!!

I've used Velcro tape to keep my carpets in place.
There isn't much trying to move them and being removable may prove handy in the future.
