Hi all. I have a 2010 173t that I bought recently and I just took it out this past weekend and noticed that the hook velcro strip that runs around the fold out bed in the rear has become detached. I saw this beginning to happen about a month ago, but the glue was still very sticky and I got it to re-attach. It has not come all of the way off, due to the screws that hold it in place periodically. However, it still leaves foot long+ sections open to the weather around the bed that you can see out of. My question is this, for all of you more experienced folks: What can I use to re-attache the hook strip to the aluminum? Would gorilla glue do the trick? Any ideas or suggestions would be most helpful! Thanks!

I've had success with contact cement.  Weldwood is the brand that comes to mind.  Put on both surfaces and let dry until tacky then attach.
