Daz 330 Cs Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I glued mine last summer but it comes off again and from visual aspect it looks like glued, not pleased really so I will get two new ones Use the proper glue and do a neat job and you won't tell it's been glued. Take lube to the Stealers with you if you're ordering two new seals, you'll sure need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vipulan10 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Brilliant DIY! I used black sanitary silicon from Screwfix myself (only a couple quid). Set in about 20 minutes and still going strong (y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhavin1986 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hi All, With the hot weather recently, my coupe's window seals (with the alcantara lining) in the door frame on both the passenger and driver's side have begin to peel away and are "flopping" as the sealant/adhesive used is no longer effective. I would like to re-seal these properly. Has anybody had this problem in the past? If so what is the best type of recommended sealant/adhesive to use? Your help would be appreciated.

Jim27 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Evostick Extreme. Stuck mine 2 years ago and never shifted since Loads of threads/posts on the seals so just do a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Funnily enough mine dropped yesterday as well. Drivers side. Ordered some unibond extreme last night on ebay. Job for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Mine hasn't moved at all since using the Unibond, must be four years ago or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Thinking it may be best to take it off all the way round and re stick it. It's about 18" worth that's dropped but I don't want to have to do it in a different area later. May also take the seal in the house to make life easier.

Craig_09 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Mines sagged today, gutted! Ordered the unibond extreme from the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_09 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 To those who have used unibond extreme.. There doesn't seem to be much "grab" with this glue? Just did mine and taped into place.. Hopefully it will set after 24hours, but it doesn't seem "sticky" at all? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will set after 24hours, but it doesn't seem "sticky" at all? Thanks I did mine yesterday with unibond extreme and your right when u apply it there isn't must grab! Taped it for a few hours and then took tape off and it was sticking fine and then checked it again 2day and it's stuck firm now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Same here. See how long it lasts. Package says it's properly cured in 48hrs. For mine that's tomorrow afternoon. I wasn't convinced when I did mine, time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_09 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks guys, thought my glue might have been out of date or something lol Ill leave it taped up for 48hours just to be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smellynelly Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Well, my passenger side trim in this intense heat has now sagged again after using the unibond extreme. The drivers side is down too but i still have this to do. I will now redo both sides with CT1 clear sealant or HB4 sealant that i use at work. Maybe i did not create enough tension with the pegs when i fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDevil Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 What tape did you guys use to hold it in place after glueing? Masking tape gaffa etc I was thinking masking as loads at home at mo?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Was like a furnace when I opened my car at end of day today. Trim is still stuck firm so happy about that. Just the longevity of the fix now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
