Roof panel getting unstuck

[Fred_in_the_van]

Original panel roof adhesive is getting softer in the sun making the roof panel to lift off the transversal bars a little bit, basically it is not bonded very well anymore.
Anyone seen this before? Maybe it is something I have done when fitting the soundeadning...

Do you know what is that thick black adhesive/sealant used by VW or anything better maybe?

Thanks

Fred

From what I've seen this is fairly common.

Do you think I should leave it? Was a bit concerned about extra vibration s. Thanks. Fred

Doubt it'll cause you any issues but it wouldn't hurt to put some adhesive in there, something like this would work;

I had exactly the same problem when I was lining my van. As above, I just filled the join areas with a flexible adhesive to prevent any possible rattle.
