how do you guys who have done this before suggest i do it? i bought that 3M weatherstripping seal glue (yellow), but that stuff makes a huge mess and gets all over the place.
Put a little glue in a bead around the trunk and also some on the seal.As you put it down on to the trunk,use a little masking tape to hold it.Wipe off any excess glue before it dries.
Before you start to glue make sure the gasket is warm and flat with no twists or kinks in the rubber, as this will cause a major headache. Some gaskets are being shipped all foded and twisted up. Try to find one that is rolled up evenly in a bag. Then put it out in the sun for 1/2 hour.
