Looks like I have an issue where I'm getting a little water in the bed through the jount between panels 2 & 3. Looked today and it appears on the right edge of panel 3 the front weatherstripping is pulled loose a bit and water is seeping in. Looks easy enough to put a bit more glue in the joint but I don't know what king they use for this. Any suggestions? I'd like to avoid the hassle of going to the dealer for this but I also don't want to do something that would mess up the warrantee. Thanks for any info!
 
If it is under warranty I would take it to the dealer. If not try contact cement.

dont know what kind of glue it is, but I know when I took the seals off to paint my panels it was a greyish white stuff and really messy. It got everywhere. What ever you get I would make sure it stays flexible. I looks real similar to plumbers putty that you use on plumbing fixtures.
An auto paint supply store might have something in a tube form
