Weather stripping on roof coming off

Bowhunter74201 · Oct 26, 2017

i wasn't sure what it's called specifically so i called it weather stripping. the black rubber that runs down the roof. mine is coming off. i'm wondering what i should use to stick it back down.. adhesive, 3m double sided trim tape? something else?

Outdoor adhesive should work. I hsd the same thing happen on my 2013 ram. Had it fixed at the dealership.

3M black weatherstrip adhesive would probably work too.

i've got some loc-tite outdoor adhesive and some 3m moulding tape. think i'll try the loc-tite first, the tape might be too thick.

Careful with the Loc-Tite stuff:

Loctite Stik'n Seal Outdoor Adhesive from Loctite Adhesives

Not recommended for bonding 2 non-porous surfaces....almost positive the rubber itself isnt porous and paint definitely isnt.

yeah that's the stuff. hmmmm.... maybe i should find something else.

3m body trim adhesive worked on my wifes escape.

That trim piece is called ditch molding. I know 3M makes a double sided foam tape that is very sticky that a lot of OEMs use to adhere that piece to the car, I know for a fact thats what Mercedes uses.

It does. Mine started coming off on the passenger side as well, shortly after I first bought it (gently used), and I used some of this to glue it back down securely. Its still holding great, its been over a year now I believe.

Mine on my driver side came off completely. Anyone have any info on a replacement piece? Anyone have the part number?

Mine was passenger side ! I used 3 M double side tape and no problems yet and it has been over a year I think

I know this is an old thread but I had the same thing happen to mine and after the grey automotive 3M double-sided tape I put on didn't hold very long, I bought me a tube of weatherstripping adhesive that seemed to work great.
