    Hi,

    The Frunk seal on my 488 (the seal that is on the bottom, not the bonnet) has released and is not stuck down in multiple places.

    Does anyone know what is used to hold this down?

    Thanks

    Very insightful!
    Have you done this before?
    What type of Glue did you use??
    Any idea on what adhesive is used from the factory?

    real world experience would be useful.

    light coat of silicone glue. Gorilla Glue has a nice version of this. Friend and I did this years ago on his 488 Spider.

    Rubber stripe around the front cargo area....tends to come up on 488. Just glue it back down. No special odd glue needed but Grollia Glue silicone glue worked on friends 488. He had his car at my place years ao and we noticed this. I grabbed some glue and laid a thin bead layer down and never a problem again.
