My leaper is attempting to live up to its name off of my boot lid.
Leaper peeling away from the boot lid
Anyone have a good suggestion on the best adhesive for me to use to get it back to good? The Gray Ghost is garage kept, but the FL heat still takes a toll.
I have used black RTV silicone windscreen sealant with great success to stick all sorts of things on various cars over the years, including the leaper on the back of my F-Type.
The leaper wasn't falling off, I took it off on purpose to reposition it a little lower after removing all the other rear end badges including the Jaguar lettering.
I did this some seven years ago now and the leaper has not budged one iota since, despite being left in the sun for hours on end from time to time.
One tip if you decide to use black RTV sealant - try not to get too much on the outside edges, ie aim to put it about 1 mm in from the edge and fairly thin, and any that does squish out when you press the leaper into place can be easily cleaned off with a soft rag dipped in turps. You have about 10 minutes to clean up before the RTV starts to set/cure.
Edit - forgot to add - it looks like the kitty is sticking up a little at each end so when you take it off you can (very gently!) try to bend those ends back down a little, before sticking it back on.
