    Steve, if I recall correctly it's a kind of double sided mastic that comes in a roll, it's very "tacky" but not a permanent adhesive, Ferrari don't list an adhesive - though it might be worth speaking to a windscreen company or even your local glazing shop.

    3M and other companies make all sorts of structural sticky tape. Go to a local glass shop and ask for double sticky glazing tape. They will know what you mean. If you want something really tough look at the CR Lawrance catalauge online. Also look in the shower door section. They have uv curing tapes there.

    Steve, please seek proffessional advice/service for this, and stop being such a tight wad.
    There is nothing worse than seeing an unsightly, wavy, inconsistent line of black sealant on the inside of lenses, windscreens etc.
    Besides, it will have to match the opposite unit, in depth, colour, width ?
    Could be worth having the "good" one removed and re-sealed.
    Kind Regards,
    Dad x
