Got up early today to detail my cat today, and noticed that the foam insulating trim behind the rear window is coming loose. About 5 inches long of the greyish foam is loose, and dangling near the turbo's.

Can anyone recommend an adhesive that i can buy that will bond it back in place, and will resist heat etc given it's location.

Ideally something that i can buy on a Sunday from a regular shop

thanks, and hope you get to enjoy today's great weather

Thanks

I think bostick or evobond are ok, find it in B&Q. I used this to secure heat shield under exhaust.

What he said yes
Silicon will take a couple of hours or so to cure but should be a permanent fix.

Erm. Detail your cat? Your pussy cat or your catalytic convertor?
Either way you're very enthusiastic. When did I get so lazy?
