I used 3M 08088 weather strip adhesive on mine, and have had it on there
for 4 years. The climate here (in Idaho Falls, Idaho) is pretty brutal.
Our highs in the summer rarely exceed 95, but we have about a 30 degree
temperature drop most nights. So with the sun on a dark hood, I bet the
bonnet sees 150 degrees (farenheit) for highs in the summer, -15 or so for
lows in the winter.
