Probably the only thing I have had to glue recently are some of the Ultis come poorly glued from the factory, enough that you can lift the foam off of the rim, typically on the inside rear.
+1 on the poor glue job on the Ultis. Tough to stomach when 2 pairs of their $25 foam chunks WAY bad and then you notice that 80% around the rim 1/4" deep the foam is gone and you can still see machine marks in the rim where CA never made it except at the very very lip.
