Rear hatch weatherstrip. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

The rear window weather stripping on the ZR-1's and base vettes usually will come apart at the corners over time. When they are originally made, it appears that they are glued with what I assume is a 3M product. Has anyone here had any success re-gluing? Mine is starting to come apart, but hasn't completely separated yet. My brother has a base Vette that has completely failed. I've not seen a aftermarket window seal that is as good as the original. They are fairly expensive as well. I've been thinking about building a fixture to accurately position (out of the car) the window seal for re-gluing.
