hood seal ?

[weston]

What type of "glue" is the best to use when installng an oem hood seal on a rn sj?

 

[oxnard111]

i used super glue, but don't know if that is the "best".

 

[Mike W]

Good question. I need to re glue mine.

3m Weatherstrip adhesive has worked for many. Also good old contact cement.

 

[ticega306]

contact cement aka turf glue worked just fine...

 

[weston]

figured dap would work well but I did not want I ruin my 125 dollar hood seal thank for the info

[chad]

yeah yeah
superglue

or rc tire glue , should be same as superglue ,

I have seen lots of hood seals come loose glued with contact cement

 

[sflsurfrider]

i use contact cement. just like when turfing, sand and clean both mating surfaces properly and it will never come off.

i think it is due to the fact of them stretching it out too much then you cant fit it all in the crevice

i didnt have that prob tho

shoe goo duhh.........

so... how Manny bottles of super glue do you use it would take a lot of that glue to seal all the voids in the "trough"
just as a side note next time you need to make a quick fix use super glue and backing soda, spread the glue liberally then throw some backing soda on the glue you will be amazed at how Strong the glue becomes and it dries within seconds of applying the soda no matter how much glue there is have fun with that one.

i have a carbon blowsion hood that i am repairing/painting for a friend it looks like some sort of epoxy was used to glue the seal in but it feels somewhat softer then epoxy kind of like shoe goo AHH SNAP THATS IT SHOE GOO!!! no shiet that just came to me that stuff will work awesome anyone ever use it for this application?
