Sparky67 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 One of the black rubber roof strips has come off my wife’s 57-plate Ka. What do you think is the best adhesive to fix it back on with which won’t eat the paint and hopefully make it car-wash jet wash proof?

Have you also got a 1997 Ka or is your profile out of date ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky67 Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Profile needs updating. Hopefully here’s a photo of the roof and the rubber strip which needs reducing… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Clean the groove and rubber with isopropanol (IPA) and then use clear silicon to fix back in place. Clean off any excess silicon with the IPA. Leave it 48 hours before going through a car wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky67 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Cheers. I just happen to have a fresh tube of clear silicon with 1/4 left in it so will try that once the daytime temperature is back to a sensible level. At least the rubber strip is a bit more flexible at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
