Replacing the pinch weld seals

[Greyghoster]

I am about to replace some of the seals with the Schlegel Pinch Weld sold by Track. The original seals appear to be glued on. Is this something that is necessary? If so, what sort of glue would be best?

None of the pinch weld on our mk4 appears to be glued.
(This is for everything, main tent hatch, and all side hatches)
I've previously fixed / tightened the seal on the main tent hatch, and it could just be pulled up.

I believe there's a couple of posts where people have 'partially' glued the seals to:

• Join ends (just the ends are glued together)
• Dabs / spots to stop it moving / creeping.

If you really want to glue it, I'd be using something like Sikaflex-227 Auto And Construction Sealant, but again, I'd be going light on.

Pinchweld is not normally glued on. The pinch holds it on.
The rubber seal that goes around the mouth of the van and seals against the rear hatch is joined with a loctite super glue that is specially designed for rubber
