Has anyone had any experience replacing the rubber piece that goes around the eTrex?

Mine is damaged, but I have a perfectly good one from my no longer working yellow eTrex. So all I need to do is take the one from the yellow and put it on my Legend. But what type of glue should I use?

Outdoor Goop. Namebrand : Goop, type: Outdoor. It's waterproof. I bought mine at a crafts store. Really good adhesion, will stick almost any two surfaces together but works better than Superglue because there is more volume to the product. I apply it to small areas with a toothpick. Standard prep for the surfaces, clean and dry. Alcohol is a good cleaner.

Gorilla is an excellant glue but it expands as it dries and thats not always a good thing. A lot of people love liquid nails but I haven't tried it yet.
