Just get whatever you feel is the strongest for outside body molding at your local store lol
Make sure you do it in direct sun on a nice hot day

I honestly don't see why it wouldn't fit a 7th Gen. I checked them near my Dad's car and it looked the same. But I haven't seen them on a 7th yet.

OK I'm sorry to bring back this old thread but...I recently got my roof rails and was taking the stockers out and was wandering what exactly i need to take out. I've read the how-to and practically every other thread there is about roof rails and realize that I need to remove the old adhesive that's in there. But when I took the old ones out, there was this white adhesive on top of the black foam adhesive. Do I need to remove all of it down to the painted metal or just the white and leave the black?

Take it all down to the metal. The roof rails have a large section that sits into that channel.
