Rubber "foot" on the bottom of R61 -- which adhesive to use?

#1 Post by Tõnis » Wed Apr 25, 2012 7:18 pm

One of the little rubber feet under my R61 (one of the long ones on the palmrest side) has come loose and fallen off. Luckily, I didn't lose it. What adhesive should I use to re-attach it? TIA.

I have always used super glue.

It's worked well? I'll clean it up and give it a shot. Thank you!

Someone recommended black, car adhesive to me once.

^Another good idea. Thanks! It just so happens I'm finally having a cracked winshield replaced (been like that for six months) on Monday. I still haven't reattached the rubber foot, so I'll have to think about this and decide over the weekend!
