I use this stuff called "The Welder" from OSH. It is the strongest contact cement I've ever seen.

How about the rubber "handles" on the turn signal and the wiper switch. They're glued on - as I replace them, anyone have a glue suggestion. It must be a strong bond.
Sorry for the hijack.

Two part epoxy or urethane (gorilla) glue.

Gorilla Glue is amazingly strong. Just be careful when using it; it expands as it cures.
My favorite two-part epoxy for strength is JB Weld. Great stuff and incredibly durable.

I never knew you could use gorilla on anything but wood - does it hold? Do you still need to moisten one surface? Are these questions answered on the label?

According to the website, it can be used on a variety of surfaces, including metal, glass, ceramic, concrete, etc. The trick is to roughen smooth surfaces so the glue has something to "bite." And, yes, you still have to moisten at least one surface. The moisture serves as the catalyst for the glue. In fact, I recently discovered that a five year old bottle of this stuff had hardened to a rock due to, I guess, moisture in the air seeping into the bottle (even though it was closed tightly).

When I first purchased my Carrera, the door rubber around the opening was 'loose' and I used Gorilla Glue on it. No issues so far. All I did was spread it on the rubber and put it in place. No problems at all.
I've used Gorilla Glue on ALOT of things, and they ALL seem to work. Great stuff. Anyone ever use the Gorilla Tape? What's it like? Sorry for the OT, but Gorilla Glue really does work well.

Gorilla vs duct-tape is like duct tape vs masking tape. An order of magnitude improvement.

So the gorilla tape has stronger adhesion than duct tape? WOW. That'll be impressive. Thanks!

Once you use it you will never buy the silver stuff again. Unless you want to remove it some day...
