For the most part, installation of poptop seals does NOT require any
weatherstrip adhesive.  The 3-sided poptop seal and the luggage rack seal
have impregnated aluminum clips, and attach securely without adhesive.  Only
the flat seal that goes across the top of the poptop (where it comes down
and meets the luggage rack) can benefit from adhesive, as it does not use a
metal clip.
