Best Adhesive to Use

I need to reattach the weatherstripping that runs along the top of the cowl because it has come loose in a few places. What type of adhesive would work best for this? Thanks.

I'd use the adhesive that is specifically labeled "Weatherstripping Adhesive" that can typically found at your local auto parts store.

And that's what I went with. I hadn't realized they sold weatherstrip-specific adhesive.

Top Adhesive ?

Go to Home depot and get a tube of "Loctite 'Stik'n Seal' Adhesive. It's (Indoor/Outdoor) and the stuff is so strong I think it hold together a bad marriage !

That's my go to glue for just about everything. Except for weather stripping although it would work well

Ed I've used 3M SUPER WEATHERSTRIP GASKET ADHESIVE, part #08008 with good luck and that may be what you ended up with. It will like silicone grease, after it dries.
