On a thread about an A1 issue with glueing the breach seal, Loctite 480 is recommended. I looked on Loctite's website and found it is formulated to glue rubber to a metal surface. You will probably have to find a distributer in your area that carries it or can order it because I have not been able to find it except at specialty shop like Fasnall or other industrial fastener suppliers. I have the same issue with my G7 and am going to give it a shot just to try, but the G7 only gets used as a back up for the A1, so it doesn't see the action it once did. I hope this helps.

Try spray adhesives like 3M brand 77 found at craft or hardware stores. I spray it on cardboard and then use a Q tip or wooden stick and apply to both surfaces. Let dry and then presto!

I used superglue on my g7 fly, and except for the place where I put a big fingerprint on the frame next to it that I have to clean off, it worked fine.
