I am attempting to install this weather stripping at the top of the wind screen on the wing fairing and you can see it doesn't really want to wind around the curve and lay up flat against the windscreen.

Two questions:

1. Is there a way to make the weather stripping do what you want it to do, like does heating it allow the stripping to bend and want to stay in the bent shape. What have you found to make this work in a wonderful way????

2. My plan is that once I get the weather stripping to stay in the form I need, is to glue it on with 3M 1300 rubber cement. Is there something better that you all use? Or is there other methods of connecting the weather stripping to the fairing???.

Thanks, Miles
I have included a picture which shows how a test piece of weather stripping does not want to stay bent around the windscreen
