Mine did not have any, thats why I need to see how to fit it correct. Thanks 1970 Super Stock Challenger ex.

The glue is a brownish glue rather than the yellow stuff. I have replaced many and what I have found is to buy a bag of closepins with the wire spring holding them together and when you glue it use a closepin about every couple of inches and let it set overnight.

I'd probably go with the 3M Black Super weatherstrip Adhesive. The Super is for EPDM which is what all this modern stuff is. www.DetroitMuscleTechnologies.com Mopar body and heater box restoration gaskets

I know for sure it was the correct brown stuff because I used it for a OE gold Hemi Challenger. I looked on Gibsons site and didnt see it. I am sure someone will have a site for it.
