So just getting the car ready for the summer and while polishing today the driver end of the lower windscreen rubber has come away.
Anyone any suggestion as to the best glue / bond to use just to sit that back in place ?

Thanks.

I've used Sikaflex 221 for a number of rubber adhesive jobs. Never failed yet. 'A' pillar carbon trims, rear window carbon trim etc.

There's enough PU in there to have held the trim (until it worked loose) so adding more Sikaflex or Tiger seal will make a mess, plus, there's not much scope for the [carbon heavy] product to work in such a situation.

I would be tempted to clean both surfaces and use a Bostik type adhesive.

The 'proper' way is to rake out a channel and reapply PU which is a big job.
