My 66' is back from paint and they didn't do me any favors with the trunk lid seal channel or the engine lid seal channels. I've had to rework them into a condition that can hold the bead on the seal rubber https://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/Deta ... =111827705 . Some areas are a bit loose and I was thinking of using glue to keep the seal in place. Here's the link showing the install area. https://www.wolfsburgwest.com/wolfsburg ... cfm?type=1
I'm asking for any ideas about what glue to use. I don't think contact cement will be strong enough. I'm going to experiment with clear silicone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Re: Engine Lid Rubber Seal installation
I'm sure you've probably started with silicone already. I'm sure they were designed just to be fit tightly in the track. I remember back years and years ago some guys would use a gasket glue in their door channels. Kind of like this stuff: 3M™ SCOTCH-GRIP RUBBER AND GASKET ADHESIVE 847 - 5 OZ. That being said, I bet wolfsburgwest customer support would have a recommendation. On a side note, I ordered some a left hand door seal (not from wolfsburgwest...but I should have), and it was garbage, so loose that I just trashed it. Good luck and let us know what you ended up doing.
