BiggieBoy,

I don't have a tube at home now to look at but I think what I use is made by GE.

There are many makers of silicone adhesive or caulk, just make sure its 100% silicone. Bath tub caulk is usually the same thing.

I have purchased it at Pep Boys and Home Depot and various hardware stores. Get a small tube because it wont keep once its opened.

I'm sure the product BubblePuppy mentioned is OK.

Where do you guys get these names ?

Mine fell off after 3 months. Actually 2 came off around the same time. I used super glue... I think its to firm and when it go hot down here they popped off. This time around I went with a 2 part epoxy since it dries semi-flexible. They have been on about 4 months now with the epoxy and I have not had any issues.

The set I got came with some no-name glue...I didn't take a chance and went to pep-boys and got some good glue.

If you use good glue, they're not going to come off...
