Weather Strip Adhesive
I am re-doing the weather strip around the vent windows of my Studebaker. I got new fitted weather strip from Studebaker international and it is first rate. But since my top is chopped I need to adjust it to get it to fit. I plan to "section" the weather strip so that the curves at the bottom and nub for the top hinge post are in the right place. I will do some careful measuring before I make the straightest cut possible to remove the ncessary section of trim, then I need to bond it back together.
What would you recommend to glue it together and also seal it to the window frame? Could be two different products I suppose. Thanks for your ideas.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

Another reason to use black is because if it shows, it is not noticable....but the yellow is very noticable!

Been there, done that, Pat. I would use the black 3M weatherstrip adhesive where it seals to the metal, then some contact glue (tinted black with just a touch of paint) where the rubber seals come together. Leave the seals about 1/16" long to allow for shrinkage.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
