New and Old Rubber Problems: Relay Holders and Weatherstripping. Options

[KingSlug]

So really quick two really rubber problems.

1. Fuse holder rubber is old and no longer holding in their relative positions. Adding to this I’m upgrading to the RD new fuse panel, and the rubber pins push through but they won’t lock it. So rather that RTV or Woodweld them in any ideas to hold them secure in place?

The boy thought about cutting off the rubber pins push through and inserting a trim holder through the fuse panel. I was playing with idea of a screw but that does seem clean. One another question where/how does the metal headlamp relay attach?

2. I replaced the hood weatherstripping a month ago and still have a bit of bow in the hood. Any sure way to get the weatherstripping to conform so I can get the hood gap back that I normally had?

Thanks and Merry Christmas
