So we all know our beloved's are held together mostly with glue. Mine has a few areas that need tidying up such as gluing the rubber edge to the hood and where the hood fabric is glued to it's fibre frame.

Anyone know the best glue for these kind of jobs?

Im guessing super glue would be too brittle.The existing glue has a kind of rubbery feel to it, seems a bit like carpet glue?

evo-stik again. You can get more radical types from trade outlets like Travis Perkins. Still Evo-stik, just a bit more so. Sikaflex also handy for some bits and bobs...

Impact adhesive. Super glue will soak into fabrics (if it gets near the hood fabric...).

Found either of these work well and not "stringy" like good old Evo-Stik
