I have rubber (molding) around a headlight that is unattached and needs to be sealed back to the headlight. Can someone recommend a glue?

I would not recommend gorilla on a smooth surface like glass, also it has the issue of expanding quite a bit during cure. 3M makes a weatherstrip adhesive that is purpose built for this type of repair:

In a business I had I used many different adhesives for various materials, and for this application I would recommend E-6000 or the thicker E-6100.

Never noticed that, but 3M is also a good option.

this would be my suggestion. years ago we used 3M weatherstrip adhesive for just about everything on our race car. it went on easy, stayed together, and hen time to remove it, it came off fairly easily.
