I am installing all new rubber/seals today for the doors/wing windows/glass runners etc... they are thr glue in type. What should I use to do this.????

Any ideas? Whats the best to use? Only want to do it once!!!!

I know it's been covered somewhere, but couldn't find it.

Lmc truck sells rubber weatherstrip adhesive, or any auto parts store dont use anything else as it is the best.

Think about using some small clamps to hold the seal in place. Used wood clothes pins in the past with some success. I'm sure others may have found other things. When buying the 3 M adhesive use the black not the yellow you will get a better looking finished look.

Thanks, I bought the 3M Black Super weatherstrip adhesive. Planned on using masking tape, and will try the clothespins. Sounds like a great idea.

Thanks again.
