Weather Stripping

[Mpgeslak]

Hi all,

Looking for help with Weather Stripping Adhesive.   I have read a number of posts about problems with non-original seals and thus am buying all original MB seals for doors and windows.    I have also read to use 3M 08008 for Rubber seals and 08011 for EPDM seals.    I haven't been able to find anything definitive to say weather new seals from Mercedes are definitely EPDM, I did find a couple of threads where individuals said they assume they are EPDM because they are new.   Is there a definitive view on this, or a way to determine which they are?

Thanks for your help

Michael

I've always used 3M Black Weatherstrip Adhesive 80119.

I could not find 3M in my geography, so I used this for several applications: TEROSON 2444 TEROKAL 340G. Loctite product, certainly.

You can buy the same thing with Daimler sticker on it at the MB dealers, just 3 times more expensive. Forgot PN, but it is irrelevant, as you are much better off buying it in town.

Thanks Pawel and Jordan.  I’m in the UK and I can’t seem to find either of the recommendations here!  Do you know if the material is Neoprene Rubber of EPDM?

You have some info here, on Henkel.uk

Data for 3M 80119.  https://www.3mcanada.ca/3M/en_CA/company-ca/all-3m-products/~/3M-Weatherstrip-Adhesive-80119-black-5-oz-150-ml-/?N=5002385+3293770763&rt=rud

Looks like it is excellent for bonding EPDM rubber.

Thanks Pawel.  Every website I look on has a lead time of over a month, and most require a bulk purchase?

I agree Jordan, the 3M 80119 looks perfect and can be used on Neoprene Rubber and EPDM Rubber.   I can't seem to find it in the UK at all?

Seems like I can get 3M 08011 and 08008 through either Ebay or Amazon and shipped to the UK.   Just not sure which one I need

You need 3M 08011 (for EPDM) but not the old 08008 (not suitable for EPDM).
