3M Super weatherstrip adhesive (aka "gorilla snot").

Mine aren't sealed, as original I believe.

Again, mine aren't.

There's been some debate over that, I'm still not certain of the correct
answer.  But the rubber grommet is not listed in the TR3 SPC and I don't
believe it was originally used unless perhaps there were some very late cars
that got the TR4 style filler that doesn't clamp onto the deck.  Earlier
cars I believe got just a flat fiber washer (which is also not listed in the
SPC, but I believe was supplied as part of the assembly).
