My previous owner tried regluing the baggie of fuzz to the inside of my (then
his)
plastic tranny cover. Didn't work well. Not sure how necessary it really is
anyhow,
especially if carpet is added.
As for the rubber seal, 3M 5200 adhesive caulk is superb at this kind of
application. Though cheap silicone caulk does a pretty good job as well.
It will also simply make a nice seal all by itself.

I could use the voice of experience here. I picked up an ABS transmission
tunnel cover for my 1980 Spitfire. The idea was to replace the "paper"
original cover (in excellent condition, other than being a bit thin for my
taste) Of course, it did not include a rubber seal.
Luckily, I found a "transmission tunnel seal kit" at
SpitBits. Unfortunately, the kit consisted of a roll of seal with nothing
else.
What is the ideal adhesive to use in gluing this type of rubber seal to the
ABS cover prior to installation? What works, and what have folks tried
that is a definite no-no? Has anyone attempted to transplant the
plastic-covered insulation that is attached to the paperboard cover over to
an ABS style cover?
