Default Best adhesive for wind noise fix?

Is there a consensus on the best adhesive to use for the wind noise fix? My car is black, so I wonder if a good black adhesive is available? Thx.

The color should not be an issue as none of the sealant should show. The main consideration is to use something that will adhere, and be durable enough to last ten years or so, and tolerate temperature extremes and not be too difficult to get off if you should need to. One product that seems to satisfy those requirements is the GE280 that I have suggested. Permatex also makes a silicone adhesive that in both black and clear that should work. I have used the GE product to repair several cars and have used it to redo mine several times and I can attest that it is very satisfactory.

Here are links to a couple of ads for GE280 that have the correct item image:

The GE280 is a stock item at most Walmart Super Stores, HomeDepots and Lowes - look where the glues and adhesives are stocked.

Default Adhesive

I used Permatex Black Silicone Adhesive Sealant from Walmart...about $4 for 3 oz tube. It set up stronger than the lame double-sided tape Lexus used.
