Rubrail Adhesive and Repair

Shepstream · 08-09-2004, 06:09 AM

The rubrail has started to fall off on our 2003 Safari 25. It looked a little suspicious; and at 60 MPH, it began to peal off just behind the hot water heater. Duct tape was the obvious on-the-road repair; but we are unsure as to what is the correct fix? There is about a two foot segment from the hot water heater back that is "flapping in the breeze". Thanks in advance!

One source for body side molding adhesive is Ebay. Do a search using:
3M Molding Adhesive You may have to buy waaaaay more than you need, but at least it will be the right stuff.

The railing came loose on door of our 02 Classic. Took it to the dealer & they fixed it under warranty. Yours should be covered by warranty, too.

I was just over to Wal-Mart and in the Automotive Paint area they have the 3M Side Molding Adhesive (grey adhesive tape) in short rolls, 1/2" wide by maybe 10' long. Hope this helps!
