Hi, all. 

 

Just wondering what adhesive is safe for the paint when sticking the bonnet foam for the struts?  Mine just came off and I have only a tape there, at the moment.  It does not look nice and probably not safe in the long run.

 

Thank you for the help.

3m vhb or number plate pads maybe?

Thank you, @T07!  I will have a look. 

Clear silicone sealant ?

Thank you @nige8021!  Would it be safe for the engine?  And would there be a specific type or grade?

This should be fine https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265621576262?epid=1608006720&hash=item3dd8479a46%3Ag%3A134AAOSwMf9iRIg4&LH_BIN=1  or anything similar that you might find in B&Q/Screwfix/halfrauds or similar places

I found something similar:  https://www.bunnings.com.au/selleys-310g-401-rtv-engineering-grade-silicone-sealant_p1231042

 

Thinking this would be fine.  I am down under so I had to source something similar. 

 

I have found the 3M VBH GFP and will use that as a back-up if this does not work.

 

Thank you again.

 

Ah missed the fact you're down under  but that stuff should work fine 

I had the same problem and used Gorilla Glue. Just damp the surface with a little water and put a thin strip of glue on the foam. I say a thin strip, as it does expand to the sides if you use a little too much. I found that out to my cost. Works a treat though.
