As many of you may know, getting the stock sj rail-caps off in one piece can be quite a chore....often impossible. It's because of the super-ridiculous-space age-hard as rock-volcanic glass glue that they use at the factory.
I've managed to get them off intact a few times now.
With only turf remaining on my year-long marathon re-build, I'm debating whether to use them again or not.
Pro: Because of the design, they are softer than turf.
They simplify the turf job. Less contour fitting, more straight cuts.
Con: Contact cement won't hold them for long.
Not so "custom" in appearance.
Butti used some black stuff in a caulk tube last time. It worked well enough. Had to re-glue spots now and then. I don't know what it was.
X2 Frank suggested automotive windshield adhesive.
Thinking about the forces and environment in which it needs to perform, it made sense to me.
Looking for some input/experience/advise where this product is concerned.
