Rear window seal

[Martyn P]

The rear window seal is coming unstuck from the glass in a couple of places. Not really a big issue but occasionally water can get through and sits on the engine cover.
Has someone successfully glued the rubber back on (and with what glue) or is a full replacement required?
Thanks

Have used 3m VHB tape on ours, stick back on and no issues science Aug last year

I used gorilla clear and lots of pegs, was only the ends that were coming adrift. Held for six years now. https://flic.kr/p/2nDoX4m

It's an acknowledged issue at Alpine. Tried to get it fixed for free under the extended warranty to no avail. The team at Hayes fixed (not replaced) mine a A110s ('21 model) for circa £190 last December. I haven't even opened up the rear to inspect the fix yet, however given all the rain we had from Jan through to Mar, I did not see any signs of leakage.

From memory sourcing and replacing a brand new seal would be in the region of £500 - £600 (insane)

Blimey, that is expensive!
Thanks for the suggestions.
Will grab some double sided tape and give that a go first, as it is only a patch on both sides that have come away.
If that doesn’t work will try the glue (and buy some clothes pegs!)

The seal doesn't come separately from the rear screen, so quite surprisaed that it didn't actually cost more!
