Hiya Uncles Old Duke and Dan,
Happy Christmas and God Jul! (Good Yule.)
Yep, 2nd-ed on the Electric Products Shoe Goo, yet it may be better, to use the GOOP product. Best if they are UV-resist versions called RV or Marine. You can get the RV version at Walmart for like 3-4$

GOOP RV tube. Packaging may have changed a bit with a big RV on the tube.
GOOP II MAX is also RV resist. I'm unsure how it is better.
GOOP Marine is also RV resist.
I use the RV resist versions on my 240 taillights lenses.
Though I had to drill holes through the bottom of the red lens to drain it of moisterure instrusion. I make it a gold fish bowl?
I also used GOOP to resecure the along the bottom of the front and rear 240 door plastic trim. Cleaned it all, at leasts the pain side. I did not rough up the paint finish. Applied the GOOP like a contact cement. A coat on the trim adhesive side where it was before and at the edge that contact the exterior door surface. Press it againts the door surface. Let it get tacky for a few minutes or more. (Fan helps and the outgassing is tremendous with GOOP.) And apply a new bead and spread it, than reapply. I use clear packing tape to hold it on and give it a few days to cure.
I've used the 3M trim adhesives. They do not last, become brittle, and crumble from UV sunlight and weather exposure. Urethane Gorilla glue may not be UV resist.
Uncle Art is helping the one needing belt size info. Uncle Art can perform laser wheel alignments on his Volvo in his garage!
My three 240s rot in the polluted midwestern rain.
Hope that helps. Thank you.
