   Hi
   This will be hard without the aid of pictures at the moment
   But the rubber seal that runs from the wing mirror to the top right corner of my passenger door frame is peeling away.
   It's left a gap right when the roof curves to run down the A pillar
   How could i get the seal to stick back to the bodywork?! I assume glue but don't want anything to potent that it eats through it :/
   I've tried araldite precision and tigerseal black sealant - to no avail :/
   Please help

   I would still have to glue it on though :/
   That's the issue I'm having

   but the original is prob not glued on so a replacement will go on the same. if its the piece i'm thinking of it sounds like its split so the replacement will be full and go on without gluing

   It's the bit that attaches to the bodywork
   Not the doorframe
   So when you open the door, it stays on the bodywork
   
   It's not the seal on the door frame, if that's what you're mistaking it for

   I'd rather sort it myself with the right glue
   It's just a case of getting hold of it!

    See I've tried araldite precision and tigerseal
    The tigerseal 'sorted' it in the fact it made a section stick, but the main area is still bad :/
