Door seal - re-sticking it?
 
One end of the door-mounted rubber seal keeps coming unstuck (nearside rear door on a saloon). Can anyone recommend a method of re-sticking it. I was thinking of trying one of these products from Unibond - http://www.unibond.co.uk/en/diy-adhe...ls-strips.html

Assuming I'm looking at the correct part (CFE102340) they're £94.90 each :eek: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-CFE102340

I am in the process of replacing all my door seals on my 1963 Rover P5 Coupe' and used Permatex - Brilliant stuff

I used Eco stick contact adhesive on mine a few years ago and is still holding.

Thanks Chuck, that looks like decent stuff. How long does the rubber need to be held in place while the glue sets?

The seller in your link is US based - $29.50 shipping is a bit steep.

There's a UK seller here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Permatex-8...p2054897.l4275
£9.35 inc delivery.

I tried contact adhesive and it came off again - it's where the seal turns the corner of the door.

Door seal - re-sticking it?
 
About 5-6 minutes did the trick for me. I left it get tacky before I pressed the surfaces together.
That was where the seal came loose with me on my car.

Did you put adhesive on both surfaces (i.e. the door and the rubber seal)?

Rover66 21st June 2015 16:21

Yes I put adhesive on both surfaces.
Got one to do on n/s rear door on the v6.

The Permatex instruction say to coat all surfaces then again leave to nearly dry and make contact!
It gives a very strong adhesion as required, leave pressure on it (doors shut) overnight for complete adhesion, well that's what I did....

When I bought mine, the only source at the time was USA based so I bought two! made the shipping a little more effective ....
