I have to put the new seals in my F-150 tomorrow along w/ the front and backglass so it can be rolled outside w/o getting water in it and we have nothin to put it on with(aka that yellow crap). Can I get this at O'Reilly, NAPA, etc? What do you guys recommend..i just need it early tomorrow morning.

The "yellow crap" is 3M weatherstrip adhesive. I've come to know it as "gorilla snot." You should be able to get it at any auto parts store. 3M also makes the adhesive in a black color. It's a little easier to hide than the yellow.

DON'T GET THE YELLOW!!!!!!!!!
You'll never be able to get the excess cleaned up to look good. Get the 3M Black weather strip adhesive. It will blend better with the new weatherstripping. You can get it at any Advance Auto, or Autozone.

3M black is the way to go. Best on the market. The spray on adhesive for headlines is ripe too.

They make the yellow snot in black? I'll have to remember that next time
