Which adhesive is best for my roof

Post by agnew1985 »

Hi everyone, I have a need to stick my high-top roof back onto my van and was wondering if anyone could advise which adhesive would be the best/ most appropriate? Just to give some context, I have replaced the gutter down one side of the van as it was horribly rotten so have lifted the roof to reach the area. It was only stuck down with adhesive/ sealant in the first place - no rivets or screws, so obviously I want to get the best adhesive I can so it doesn't fly off on the motorway! I've read on some threads here about tiger seal and sikaflex but would love to know what anyone may think is the best or if there are better alternatives. Thanks a lot.

Tigerseal and sikaflex are very similar. You can get lots of different types of sikaflex and it's highly regarded for boatbuilding so it's probably better I would think if you get the right type.
