The rubber sealing strip on my Legacy has come unseated on one side the the screen - there is a recess for it to 'fit' around the edge of the screen but it seems it needs some kind of adhesive or sealant otherwise it comes adrift above 50mph.

What do i need to use to fix it back into place?

I went around to a local windscreen place, he just glued the rubber in with the stuff he uses to bond the windscreen in place, taped the rubber down with masking tape and told me to leave it on for 24 hours.

So - the black stuff for bonding windscreens in is the official stuff, but I would say black silicone would do fine.

Polyurethane sealant from Toolstation. It's the same stuff as tiger seal and sikaflex.
