Question > Help Please "Best glue for roof rails" <
Hi Member's,
I searching for the best glue to use for roof rails orthe factory rubber inserts on the roof of the Monte Carlo.


I would really appreciate your help for a good friend that's having a difficult time getting the ones he put on to stick.


What is the best product to glue them down ?

What are you using to clean the channel before you glue ?


Look forward to your post(s) & HELP
Thanks much for reading/helping

I cleaned the adhesive with rubbing alcohol.

Then I used a black silicone, since my car and roof rails were black, anything that might squeeze out and show would be black
