I'm installing the tube that fit into the headlamp housing to keep the sun from carving notches into the assembly. I have some 3M Super Weatherstrip & Gasket Adhesive and wonder how that will work or if I should go find something else like Loctite RTV Black Silicone Adhesive, etc.

Any suggestions on adhesive for this task? OK the 3M product is not ideal for this application. It gets everywhere including inside the assy. Not good.

I had some DOW Corning RTV Sealant 732 lying around and that seems to work great. I was going to use Loctite RTV Black but the local stores didn't have it. Why not try trim adhesive? They have a double sided sticky tape in the automotive section. This stuff is not cheap but Ford part# F7AZ-19554-EA "silicone gasket and sealant" may work for you.
Use it sparingly. It withstands shear better than the usual silicone sealants.

3M may or may not last a year.

m I used the 5 minutes epoxy by "chevron", i think. Mine were installed by the local Lotus dealership. When I removed the housings to re-aim my lights, I noticed they were just slipped into place (no adhesive of any sort). I have had no problems with them backing out (over 2000 miles since - I guess the lenses would stop them from backing out).

I also used RTV silicone sealant, and it worked really well.
