[Roadsters] boot lid rubber seal glue

[peter harrison]

Of course you can just leave it in the groove in the body instead of fixing it
to the lid. But it all works much better if you take the lid off and let
gravity work in your favour. 3M makes a very good weatherstrip adhesive. Bit
messy, but powerful. Think it is 3155 or something like that,
FWIW
