Default best adhesive for rubber parts?

Rubber flares, mirrors, snorkel... what is the best adhesive for these?
Ive been using superglue for everything else, but it seems to partially desolve rubber... any suggestions?

For the mirrors shoe goo might be best. Any glue you use for the snorkel will probably mess up the paint underneath so I would say use some scale bolts to attach like so. They look scale and are barely noticeable. I think they add a nice touch.

not a bad idea..
the only scale bolts I have right now are silver... I might have some paint that will stay on them.. Also considering just using a thin double sided tape. Scotch makes a 10 pound weather resistant mounting tape, and its thinner than your average 3m stuff.

Nice Idea! I ended up using Locktite Superglue Gel. Its perfect for rubber, because it already has rubber in it... In their promo video they glue athe end of a rubber hose (kind of like what would be on a slingshot) to a bowling ball, and within about 20 seconds they were able to pick the bowling ball up with it. its good stuff.. We'll see how good when I end up rolling it over...

I use a product called E-6000, it's similar to Shoe Goo.

Yeah that stuffs great, takes longer to setup than shoo goo but seems to have a way stronger bond
