Boot rubber seal HELP!

Post by nicks85 »

The boot rubber seal has come off from one side, so first I'll be cleaning the are where the seal sits.

Any ideas what glue to use to put seal back down securely?

Thanks in advance

I always use Bison Tix for that, use enough of the stuff so no water can get in between en remove excess glue right after fitting.
