TeeJay3800 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I need some suggestions on what kind of adhesive to use for my moonroof. The rubber that goes around the outside edge of the glass is coming away from the glass a little bit. What kind of adhesive should I use to re-adhere it?

sonyman87 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 assuming i understand correctly what your doing... i have seen people tape them and look tacky as hell.. you could try window seal cock.

TeeJay3800 Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Yeah, rubber cement may work. Its just the rubber molding that goes around the glass panel of the moonroof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidatorz34 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 3M makes a black glue for weatherstripping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOut Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Ditto. Use the 3M stuff, its what professionals use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomshado Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 DO NOT use rubber cement, it will eat the clear coat over time. I agree go the 3M route. When I did my sisters moonroof I placed the rubber seal in place and taped the edge with masking tape. Then I used a silicone seal, but its a pain in the ass. Just use the tape.

GnatGoSplat Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Permatex clear adhesive silicone. I use it for everything, it's super duper strong when cured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomshado Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay3800 Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'll try the 3M or Permatex brand products. We'll see how well it bonds rubber-ish material to glass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95 3-4 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Permatex silicone is holding on my heavy metal gtp badge by the decklid, for a year now, after it cured for a day I tried to move it and it was solid, couldnt risk losing that rare gtp badge I bought off someone on this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Yeah, I use the Permatex clear adhesive silicone for everything. I once made the mistake of using it to glue the emblem back into my Cutlass taillight. The emblem wasn't in that great of shape, and when I discovered GM sells the emblem by itself, I decided to take the old one out and put in a new one. I couldn't get the emblem out, not even prying it with a knife. I ended up having to pull off the taillight lens, drilling a hole behind the emblem, and pushing it out with a screwdriver. The silicone was so strong, instead of the emblem popping out, I only managed to bust a piece out of it and cracked the taillight (luckily behind the emblem where it wasn't visible). Once the emblem was shattered, I had to cut it out with a knife. The Permatex stuff is surprisingly strong. In liquid form, it's very weak, but once it cures... I don't think liquid nails can touch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95 3-4 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 i had to hold it for quite a while as the friggin emblem is so heavy I got it on there square and true tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
