Hi All.
I believe the trunk rubber seal on the 70 RR is glued on ??
Can anybody advise me on what I should use please ?
Thanks John.

Contact adhesive such as Evo Stick I believe.

I would advise not to use sikaflex,yes it does bloody stick, but a bit to much. If ever needed to remove that rubber again you would end up destroying it. Also you would rip off all the paint around it.
Stick with the evo-stick.

they have a slightly different section to the top and the bottom of the seal
its easy to get it wrong on a new seal that hasn't had years of compression to make this difference obvious.

I would imagine roofing nails wouldn't be too clever either...
