Hi

Could you advise on best sealant or glue to stick ribber pop out window seal to steel body? It's a slightly ill fitting reproduction seal on a 60's caravan so the round corners lift away from body and I feel a strong adhesive will fix it. Gorilla sealant and a PU rubber sealant just lift away if it's any help.

Whatever sealant you use make sure you clamp it in place and ensure both surfaces are clean etc.

Sikaflex. Bonds everything to anything (and is a bugger to remove once cured!)

If it's just the seal, use contact adhesive.
Just make sure you leave it long enough ( longer than you think) before pressing the surfaces together.

sikaflex also sticks trousers to painted metal, once when re sticking the blue light cover back on the roof of an LDV ambulance i got some on my hands, wiped them on my trousers and carryed on sikaflexing the cover on, standing there on a ladder for 20 mins or so holding the cover in place and roller painting the roof and cover, i thought i was finished until itried to go down the ladder !, ended up climbing out of the jeans and driving home in my boxers frown with the jeans flapping in the wind on the side of the van.
