Hey all, I just found a problem with my car, because of all this rain i've found out the hard way that ALL the door seal rubbers leak on my car.
I thought of reglueing it, but the glue i used was far to runny. Strong s*** though, needed a knife ot get my fingers apart.
Anyway it really didn't work, glue keep running down due to gravity. Is there a glue someone can recommend?
Or are door seal rubbers still available from holden?
Thanks.
Im also interested to know if they are still available at Holden or where I can get some new ones because a few of mine are missing large chunks.
just goto a supercheap/auto one or whatever and ask for a tube or tin of upolstery contact adhesive..
its yellow stuff that is tacky and you smear it on both things you wanna glue in thin even amounts.. wait for it to dry and then press them together.. just make sure you press them together at the right place the first time.. if you bugger it you can pull the two appart straight away but it will wreck the glue and you'll prob have to clean all the glue off and start again..
a tip to think about is holding the seal up to where you want it before you put glue on and mark both surfaces where you'll be able to see when gluing(with sumthin that'll clean off later) so that when you move along the seal pressing it on you dont end up with a bunch up at the end or a stretched section!!
also be aware that it dusent come outta carpet like surfaces very easy at all..
Reproduction ones are all you can get now if I remember right, around 1g for car rubber set.
Rubber kits are still available through Holden but they are over $1000... And yes that is a 1 followed by 3 zero's!!!
Its like $134 just for a sill panel rubber... Like the same price as the actual sill panel. Its a joke.
just silicon them back up, thats all i did to solve all my fallen ones. while were on the subject of leaking however, my rear drivers side doors rubber dosent 100% line up with the surround causing it to leak a bit when i wash the car or we get heavy rain, anyone else got the same problem or know how to fix it?
tarzan grip on mine gold **** worked perfect
