Glue that flexes?
Not car related - but definitely 'locost' in that I have a nice coat (Sprayway) that I am trying to repair. On the cuffs it has velcro on
the sleeve and a short rubber tag - with a velcro backing strip. This is so that you can pull the cuffs tight when necessary. The velcro on the back
of the rubber taghas come away - so I want to glue it together. But I will need a glue that stays flexible when set.
Any ideas? I've tried the stuff that comes in a bicycle puncture repair kit - but it did not adhere to the rubber strip, or to the material
with the velcro on one side...

Sikaflex/tigerseal?
Used it on shoes.... but probably not as much movement. Or contact adhesive?

evostik would be the normal first answer.
I needed a flexible bridging adhesive recently, and for that blue-tak was the solution. (but definitely not for your requirement!)
I would do the old fashioned repair, sewing with a needle and cotton.

Copydex might do the trick, but really it needs stitching to be something like permanent.

you can get proper glue for waterproof repairs (tents, coats and other kit) the ones I know are:
SeamGrip - recommended by several top kit manufactures for their kit
SilNet - as above but for silicon fabrics
Stormsure - general purpose, can be easier to find on the high street
these work extremely well - I've fixed massive rips in some of my gear with them over the years
but they can be messy if your not careful (maybe cover the rest of the sleeve with a plastic bag or something  )
evostik might be ok but the two I've suggested above are made for these repairs 
btw you can even use SilNet / SeamGrip as a DIY seam sealant - if you've got a coat / tent that doesn't have sealed / taped seams you can
just paint on a line of it instead

Look for wetsuit repair products. Some of them are incredible.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

I know the part you refer to and IMHO I'd stitch the velcro to the rubber to effect a permanent and flexible repair. My experience with
adhsives is they work for a while then give up - usually at the time you want them to keep working.

Just had the same problem on my jacket and evostik worked a dream. the clear stuff might have worked though I used the brown more industrial stuff.
It was difficult to keep the area clean as it is messy but it worked - or it has for the last year
