Ok. So, then I just need some clear coat to spray on first.

Just doing what I do
This is the correct adhesive. No need to spray clear coat first, just clean free from dirt first. This stuff will stick.

Oh and it started leaking gas. Rubber hose at fuel pump.
Nice pic, but I think it's still Thursday.View attachment 1715396261
It's Fiat Friday!
Good morning/afternoon.
Had an early appointment with Marlena the Tormentor and PT.
There's a cruise in town tonight, for cancer survivors
Tomorrow is the Cruisin' For Lfe car show, a fundraiser for cancer research and treatments.
Should be a fun couple of hours.

Best darn Loctite in off road racing in the late 70s. Used the yellow for the added visibility.
Never shook apart.
Not real forgiving to threads though 
. We always expected to be changing bolts after use

That is a lot of rain...
Look in the shop manual. They have a pretty extensive set of drawings for placement of weatherstrips - usually the magnifications show the profiles.
Aftermarket is full of so-so to plain wrongo 'restoration' parts that are nothing like the originals. Softseal and Steele are usually about the right profile but I wouldn't bet the house on anybody's. Compare with originals or pictures of originals and factory info whenever possible. My guess is what you have is about right for your car, but I don't know that.
Glues. I used the 3M yellow first. Then the second or third attempt was the 3M black weatherstrip cement. But that's now coming off too as you saw in the photo. Got a fair number of years out of it this time.
Oops. Back end of ‘57 is up more than 4”.
Oops....

They said on the news radio here that Houston is actually getting hit with 5" per hour....
(That's what she said....
)
They said that the water is up as high as the mail boxes in some places...
Then they said that the streets were under water... Duh... If it's up to the mail box, then the street is obviously under water Captain Obvious...
