RE: Lubricating Driveshaft Joints - 2

I’m having an issue with the boot on the rear part of the shaft. I used the silicone paste, but the boot keeps working loose from the driveshaft casing. Should I use something better?

zer0netgain Possible that you have let the plastic clip, that's inside the gaiter, slip away from the casing. I know this can happen, Guess how?. I even finished up with black gaffer tape holding it in place thinking I had broken a clip and needed a new gaiter.

Maybe it's the same that I also had fun with on my R1200ST?
Same hidden plastic pieces give it some strength.
Will check mine once the weather warms up.

If I don't see anything missing, I'm wondering if I should use a stronger adhesive on the boot. Rubber cement (school craft grade) has done well for me in the past as it does come off when you want to remove it.
