Foam type pipe insulation secured with tie-wraps also works well in such situations.

I'd try silicone gasket first, test it when you get your rubber to see if it sticks to it well enough for what you want, it'll stick fine to the frame just don't know how good to the actual rubber part. Other than that you're looking at an epoxy glue- proper araldite (not the quick stuff) or whatever. But try silicone first that won't cause any damage to the surfaces.

try Copydex carpet adhesive.It's a latex glue I think and sticks good and easy to remove when you need to.Should stick metal to plastic no bother and as it's latex it's a bit stretchy rather than brittle like a lot of glues.

Rubber ends for walking sticks work on Ariels.
