    Rod locker rubber seal coming loose

    Hi everyone, I have a starboard side rod locker seal coming loose. The rubber seal looks to be in great shape, it just requires reattachment. Has anyone glued these? If so, what is the best way or product to use to fix it so it isn't loose? Thanks in advance!

    I've used contact cement to glue the tubing back to the c-channel before. I use popsicle sticks to hold it apart until it's ready to stick. If it's very long, you may want to enlist a helper to keep it apart as you stick it together. You can clean up the excess typically by just rubbing it with your finger.

    I used the clear gorilla glue and just cleaned up the edges some after drying

    They sell new stuff if it is falling apart. Pretty cheap. Also it can just be getting stretched out. Take it off and squeeze it together carefully. Just a little. Then put it back in. It is a pressure fit not supposed to be glued. If you are going to buy ebay has smaller quantities. I bought a roll from the Mfg and asked around for people that needed some and sold the whole roll in like a weeke. . Everyone gets a deal and makes the not look nice

    It is held in by pressure. If it is falling off, take it off squeeze back together then put it back on. I ordered all new for all the storage areas. Not real expensive. They sell it on eBay in smaller lengths than you can get from the manufacturer. Let me see if I can find my old post when I ordered it. I bought a box and asked if anyone else wanted some at cost it was gone in a week.

    Did you order the 3/8" bulb or the 15/32" bulb size?
