3M Super weatherstrip adhesive (aka "gorilla snot").

There's been some debate over that, I'm still not certain of the correct
answer. But the rubber grommet is not listed in the TR3 SPC and I don't
believe it was originally used unless perhaps there were some very late cars
that got the TR4 style filler that doesn't clamp onto the deck. Earlier
cars I believe got just a flat fiber washer (which is also not listed in the
SPC, but I believe was supplied as part of the assembly).
