Jonas, 

You'll need to somehow clean off all the old glue and epoxy. Then use a good
old fashioned stinky liquid brush on type contact cement, applied to both
surfaces, wait 15 minutes then bond. The water based green stuff is no good
and can break down with heat and moisture.

So, the 2nd product has now failed to adhere the rubber seal to the
"lip" on my convertible top (the rubber gasket that makes the seal
against the windshield top).

1st I used a rubber cement that supposedly attaches rubber trim to cars.
The 2nd one was a 2 part epoxy that supposedly does the same thing.

The epoxy has left behind a hard "plastic" on the header rail, but
didn't stick to the rubber.

What product should I be using for this?
