New top installation

Just purchased a new top for my 99 Box. Several steps call for using glue. What type of glue do I use for these steps (Top Installation steps 1, 7 & 11)?

I used 3M spray adhesive. Can't remember exact number. I would spray onto a plate and use a foam brush to apply....much more control and less mess.

Be VERY careful removin the rear seal below the window, There is a big seal and then a partially hidden smaller seal. The smaller seal will tear easily and is not available by itself (except from Woody. than goodness).

Looks like in 7 he has a scary gun in hand. This is usually used to apply contact cement.

Yes. Gun is common in the shops. You won't need it!
Just take your time!
