I recently took the drivers side seal off to facilitate removal of the pillar trim for routing a new wire. I was surprised how much drill swarf dropped out of the headliner on seal removal. My seal wasn't glued at all and went back on a treat. Maybe on build they have a mastic gun on standby just in case??? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Yup, Justin, that's exactly the problem I have. I too thump them back into place but will buy some contact adhesive too.

The thing is, with the seals sagging a bit, it's just yet another route for water to creep in, trickle down and soak the carpets! And now autumn/winter is on the horizon i want to get it done.

Let me know how you get on and which adhesive you bought, Boy!

Thanks all.

I used this as extra sealing on my Snorkel....Worked a treat, is clear and should do the job you require it to...
