Hi all, looking for some advice on keeping the rubber seal that fits on the lower hood on my B2650 from falling off when I open it. Was not sure if I should glue it on and what type of glue to use. Anybody else have this problem and how did you fix it? Thanks
B2650 hood/bonnet seal keeps falling off

I've use 3M contact adhesive to seal similar weatherstrips on various tractors. It's a good quality weatherstrip adhesive.

I had the same problem with mine when new. I used weather strip adhesive and glued mine on. Been that way 3 yrs and has stayed perfect. Has stayed secure and no more problem!!
tempforce, be absolutely positive the surface you're going to spray is clean and dry. Probably a spritz with brake cleaner would do fine to clean.

used brake clean, when i re-installed. pinched the seal closed over the metal. set it in place to harden overnite. it's the operator's fault, i use the edge to lift by after i get the hood up part way. as i have a brush guard than makes it a challenge to lift the hood... still a poor design...
