Securing the Rubber Gasket Along Roof Line

Member Posts: 2
I have a 2017 T@B Outback and the rubber gasket that runs along the roof on both sides is peeling off as I'm driving down the road. The dealer suggested using Krazy or Gorilla glue. Is that the proper sealant/adhesive to use?

I would use a silicon adhesive/caulk.

You can drive along 10,000 miles, and still stay where you are.
Shoe Goo is an adhesive found on an end aisle in the shoe department of Walmart. Dab a bit every 6” or so and that should take care of the problem.
Thanks, that's what I got. Great timing with your response, as I was standing in front of all the adhesives at Home Depot!
No don’t use glue, just replace it. Contact NuCamp warranty and they will send you a roll of the 1 inch screw cover if your camper is under warranty or it is about $15. It’s easy to replace. It connects on both ends with a large screw/washer. You can also buy it at Amazon or RV stores. https://www.amazon.com/Insert-Molding-Camper-Travel-Trailer/dp/B077H1L4N4

I had the same problem with my 2018 TAG. I easily replaced it with new vinyl that I bought off of Amazon. After some research I went with JR Products. The reviews and specification were better. Costs for 1" x 100' was $25.47 (More expensive by about $10, but the need on each side is about 15', so I have 3 uses before I would run out)
.
Do not glue down. Each side end folds under the camper and is secured by one screw. Don't stretch the vinyl while installing. I may have the possibility of shrinking after install. The screws should hold it in place fine.
