I'm about to bond the forward rubber seal to the canopy plastic. Not much will
stick to Plexiglass or rubber. What does the rest of the Zenith crowd use?

3M weatherstrip adhesive. It's available at many auto parts stores and aircraft
supply outlets.

I used Stick-N-Seal from Walmart. It just takes some care to make sure the
surfaces are clean and not to smear it. Zenith recommended.

An old post from 2006:
"++ The magic bullet for attaching rubber to the canopy is a product called
"Poly
Zap" made by Pacer Technology. It is very specialized instant glue for
adhering the
slippery plastics together like Nylon, Delran, etc. Because is specialized
you may
not find it on the shelf at your local hobby shop, but you can easily find
and buy
it on-line. Application is so simple you essentially can't mess up if you
just take
your time. Most people think they have to spread a continuous amount of
glue from
one end to the other under the rubber and at the same time keep things lined
up and
worry about glue oozing out. Nope... just put the rubber strip in place
where it's
supposed to be on the canopy, then lift the edge of the rubber up at one end
and
place a small dot (about 1/8" in size, doesn't take much) about half way
down the
depth of the rubber seal and let the rubber gently come back in contact with
the
canopy. When that end is "tacked", move to the other end, pull the slack
out of
the rubber and tack that end. Now it's held in place. Then, go to the
middle, half
way between the two glue dots, lift the rubber up at that point and place
another
dot down in there. Then do it again between that middle dot and each of the
end
dots and so on, and so on until you have these dots applied about every 3 or
4
inches. Do the same on the inside edge of the canopy and it's done. This
type of
instant glue has a shorter shelf life than some of the others so keep it in
a
plastic bag in the refrigerator and it will remain good to use for a long
time. My
aircraft has been flying for 4 years now and NOT ONE of those glue dots has
let go.

Remember that you will eventually have to replace that piece of rubber

Karl,
I used "dots" of PolyZap spaced about 4 to 6 inches apart along the length
of the seal; and only on the part of the seal that would touch the outsid
e face of the canopy bubble. That should make it removable with a razor
blade sometime in the future.
A funny thing happened on the way to this installation. I cut the rubber
strips to length, then laid them aside. After I completed the canopy ass
embly, I started looking for those strips. I turned my work space upside
down and inside out and couldn't find them. After a few days of searchin
g, I gave up and ordered replacements from ZAC. After I had the new ones
installed, I was telling my son about losing the original ones. He was
standing beside my lawnmower. He laid his hand on the lawnmower handle
and asked "Were they like these ?" Sure enough, there were the originals
, "hiding" in plain sight (except to me ! ) draped over the lawnmower hand
le.

Hi Chuck,
I used Poly Zap, comes in a tube and you only need to use a single drop
each inch. Not to be smeared on the acrylic, but placed at the bottom of
the rubber groove.
Holds "forever" without worry.
