Default Convertible top rubber falling off

Part of the rubber seals on my convertible top are starting to separate from the metal frame. What kind of glue should I use to reattach the rubber?

I had my top replaced under warranty and I don't think the installer did a good job reattaching the fabric/rubber to the frame.

Thanks

Dont quote me on this, but I think you can use a small amount of silicone to hold the rubber to the frame.

that clear sticky silicone stuff from a tube that dries rubbery instead of hard?

The rubber uses no glue. There is a groove the rubber is pushed into on both sides. Gently peel the rubber back and you'll see where it's pulled loose.
