Door seals
« on: May 16, 2017, 13:31:04 »
Hello everybody!
The inferior door seal on the passenger side has come loose, but the seal itself is OK; it just looks as if it doesn't stick anymore to the door itself.
Is it originally   glued directly on the metal ? If so, what kind of glue would you suggest I should put on it?
Thanks in advance

The super duper goo from MB is part no A000 989 92 71. This stuff comes in a can of 12 oz.

3M also makes a weatherstrip adhesive - 08011

When you go to the job, make sure the rubber and the surface are completely clean.
