Just a dab or 2 or 3 of black silicone gasket sealer should do the trick. Do it on the back side and no one will see it.

I feel your pain, mine did the same thing.I tried the glue as Roland suggested but the under hood temps melted the glue.I finally just got myself 2 hose clamps and tighten them around the rubber grommets (so to speak) and that solved the issue for me.Now granted when you lift the hood you can see the hose clamps but its sure better than lookin at lopsided headlights from the outside.This was only an issue on my 1200, my 2072 has never had that problem.

Different styles of light fixtures. One has grommets, the other has a clamp.

It doesn't get hot enough under the hood to need high temp silicone. If you going to use RTV, regular will handle the heat. I know for sure it doesn't get as hot under the hood as it does on the engine itself. Regular RTV will handle the heat. I still say weatherstrip adhesive. Silicone is messy, and I'm not convinced it will stick to the glass and the rubber. Plus takes a while for it to set. Weatherstrip adhesive is fast setting. Minutes.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
