    Headlight seal adhesive

    The rubber seal around one of my headlights keeps coming loose and flapping in the breeze. Anybody know of a good adhesive to apply to keep around the headlight?

    3M Weatherstrip Adhesive

    Go to an auto parts store and ask for 3M Weather Strip Adhesive (Black). They make it both yellow and black. The black is not as noticable on the headlight. Another one to buy is 3M 4799 adhesive. It is sold through 3M Industrial Distributors. It's the same adhesive as the black weather strip adhesive only under a different part number.

    Headlight seal

    The seal around my headlight is flapping the wind when I am driving. Anyone have suggestions for an adhesive to put it back on. Thanks.

    The 3M stuff is really easy to find also, but it does have the nickname, "gorilla snot" (for the yellow) for a reason.

    Reminds me of an old joke:
    Ya know why gorilla's have such big nostrils?

    Cause they have such big fingers!
