Hey guys, i need some help here if you may, the rubber that goes around the headlight kinda comes out all the time, i have to keep pushing in it in, it does not comes out to the point of falling out because the rubber has like a lip that holds it, but it comes out to the point that it looks horrible, am i missing some clips or something to make it tighter to the glass from the headlight? if someone understands what im trying to explain here and knows what to do please let me know, thanks, i will take a picture tomorrow for a better understanding.

have anyone tried 3M Super Weatherstrip gasket adhesive Black, I used that stuff to tac in place the black trim around the windshield that always came off after driving on the highway lol about 8 months later its still working, if you consider using that stuff keep in mind that its runny, if you put too much its going to slowly drip all over the place, do this in a whole day, and leave the headlights on a cardboard on direct sunlight, do the top half and let it sit for like 3 hours holding the rubber in place with painters tape or something like that, then flip it and do the same on the other side.
NOTE: make sure you clean everything and dry it off before doing this, good luck smile.gif
