On my '14 RT, after a shop visit, the round rubber gasket has fallen off. I 'believe' it is glued to the rigid gasket on the lip of the frunk. I noted that the ends fit under a flap with a snap release so I'm assuming that is where it goes. Any recommendation as to which adhesive to use?
Yes it does fit on that lip. One of the vendors on the home screen, Spyderpops, sells a replacement. It is worth the money to get it.
It is not glued. Friction fit only. Just put it back on.
there are two parts to the gasket as I've seen at Spyderpops. The part that is friction fit onto the bike but it has a larger rubber gasket attached. My question here is can I repair it myself or should I order the $21.95 replacement?
I get it now. It ripped apart. Then get a new one.

As mentioned, it is friction only and tends to come off when stuffing the frunk with things. Make sure it is correctly in place each time you close the lid. If it is not, you could bind the lid making it hard to open. Not a big deal to just check before closing..... Jim
It is a push fit but the open push-on edge has wire inside the rubber, squeeze the edges together before replacing it to give it a tighter fit.
Seems to be some confusion so did it come off or did it become separated? if separated go ahead & replace worth the $& keeps frunk sealed properly. Not saying can't diy repair just might be more PITA than anyone should voluntarily try. SpyderPops replacement is cut to fit, did & done:firstplace: FYI mine failed after parked facing the sun too long the round upper part bonded to the lid & slowly began to tear away from the V lower 1/2 I didn't pay attention till was flapping about 6-8 inches down in the frunk ,annoyingly. :banghead:
The shop that some work on the bike seemingly ripped it mostly off. Not going back. Thanks for all who provide me information and assistance. I've ordered a replacement from Spyderpops. Thank you...
