    Can't believe the part isn't even recessed to Atleast sit on the edge..... I'll get the urethane out and give it a go.

    Default superglue

    Mine did the same thing in a small area. All i did was superglued it. Works fine now but eventually it will tear up again .all i did was buy time. Also try using armer all. It might help from the heat making it stick to the frunk cover. Here in south florida the heat is vicious. Good luck.

    The seal on my 2010 RT is similar to yours except the part that didn't stick is smaller and a round cross-section. I ordered another from spyderpops and it has a V section to slide over the rim and a circular piece of trim attached to the V part. It is all one piece; not glued and the V section is far better design to keep it in place permanently.

    Default Spyderpops

    Hi,

    SpyderPops sells a replacement, see about half way down this page:
    http://www.spyderpops.com/6.html

    Not used it myself.

    JUST REALISED you're in Aus. So you can get it from Martin instead (he stocks Spyderpops stuff)

    Cheap enough. I used super glue for now and just smeared a bit of oil to the top edge so it won't stick in the heat. See how it goes.

    It is available, Trim Lok looks to have an Australian Flag on their deliveries, too. I found this looking for just edge trim for body panels. I found the edge trim for cheap on Ebay, so they might have the frunk seal, too.

    If if you just smear the rubber with talcum powder it will release just fine and won't do damage. Oil grease and stuff like that can do damage to paint and even clothing given half a chance 😗 in the past I have found Dow's gasket goo to be great at bonding piping to car doors and trim to various fixtures. Just smear liberally and fit where it needs to be, hold with tape and remove any remaining goo! Depending on the weather it can set up fast if warm, carefully remove tape and close door, frunk etcetera and that should do it.

    To late, it's done. I used inox, it won't affect paintwork.
