Something I've put off for a little while is replacing the main pop-top  seal
on my van - which by the way was something the PO threw in when he  sold me
the van last June.

That being said, I'm stuck with a seal  (no pun) that requires an adhesive to
bond it to the fibreglass top.   I've spent the last two hours scouring and
cleaning the top and am ready to  apply the seal - something I plan to do
tomorrow.  The recommended  seal adhesive as per the instructions is a
product from 3M that is no  longer available.

Can someone recommend a worthy product - something I  could likely find at a
Home Depot or Canadian Tire  Outlet?




Bruce, this is why the  Pop-Top seal kit from the _BusDepot.com -  VW Bus /
Camper / Vanagon / EuroVan Specialists_ (http://www.busdepot.com/)  is the
best.  No glue  needed !  Trying to glue that seal in place makes a mess and is a
Royal PITA.
