    Default Door Seals

    Can anyone tell me what to use or how to clean the glue off where the rubber door seals are.

    I have one that is in good condition but it has come unstuck so I just need to clean up the area & re glue it.

    Also, what is the best glue to use?

    Thx

    For glueing door seals I highly recomend a glue called shoe goo you can get it from most shoe shops, I get mine from mister minute. I have used many of different glues over the years and nothing comes close to shoe goo. I was showing a mate one day how well it stuck, I was pulling on the door seal and riped a hole in the seal and it still didn't come unstuck lol

    Cheers

    Try sikaflex, you can buy it from Bunnings in a tube, to get the glue off your existing rubber try trichloroethylene you can get this from any Mobil outlet

    I know about Trilene, pretty strong solvent that it is.

    Off to clean it up & re glue it later.

    +1 sikaflex. Messy if you aren't careful though. New door seals are an absolute ripoff for these models.
