Following my little slip-and-slide with my '07 Uly, I took it to the dealer for a check-up. Everything was fine, but I did have them replace the rubber puck on the right side. It seems that the adhesive that came on the puck is not holding quite well enough on the bottom and it looks like it's separating a little. Any tricks to get it to stick back on, or an adhesive that I can squirt/spray between the puck and the frame that might work well. If all else fails, I'll call the dealer and ask them to order me a new one and replace it under the part's warranty.
Thanks.

They use a really good two sided thin foam tape. The only good repairs for that are to replace it, or re-tape it.(replacement is better)

If it is a little spot on the bottom coming loose it may never change. You could try heating it with a heat gun a bit and pushing it in to make the tape contact the surface.

I added a set to my City-X and one of them had a spot like that. Annoying to look at, but never a problem, and though I tried I couldn't make it look better.
