Roadglide inner fairing trim
Ok i wanna know if im the only one having this issue with the three inner fairing trim peices. They all seem to leek glue i guess from shifting or heat. Maybe its not glue but a tacky film to help adhere the trim to the inner fairing, but either way mine are making a mess. The first time i had my outer fairing off i replaced all 3 trim peices, but now im back to square one with this mess.

The adhesive used does not like heat.I had the same issue and had it reglued under warranty a couple times,the same thing happend.
I ended up removing all the adhesive and reglued with Loctite super glue.This adhesive will not melt like the other crap the factory and dealer used.

get the rubber seals for a street glide,they work a lot better than the road glide rubber.i have an 06 ultra that i painted the inner fairing and used the street glide rubber on and its been over a year without any problem.i have a road glide that im presently using the street glide rubber seal on as soon as i get the inner painted.

Go to an automotive store (Autozone, Pepboys, etc) and get a roll of door edge trim. Has its own adhesive, replaced mine this winter so can't say how it will do in the heat. Do a search for fairing trim, there are others who have done it for longer and did not have issues with heat.

i had the same problem. Took the stock trim off and cleaned inside the trim and the fairing with Goo Gone. Then I used silicone caulk (the small tube that you squeeze with your hand vs. a caulk gun). It has seemed to stay put very well. I thought about the super glue method but didn't want it to be as permanent in case I ever have the inner fairing painted.
