Coupe Sagging Door Seal Fix

Recommended Posts

Did mine with Unibond Extreme yesterday and, after using many different types of tape to try and hold it in place, the trim seems nice and solid this morning.

Time (and weather) will tell ;)

Used tiger seal on my drivers side last year sometime. By the looks of it, it won't be going anywhere!

EDIT: Just saw my post from last October. No movement yet, though the passenger side is slowly getting worse. Really need to get around to fixing that side too... :rolleyes:

I tried a few glues, hadn't thought about using silicone sealant, but after a few crap glues failed, I've started using this stuff which seems to stick like nothing else:

I stuck a few bits up last year with it and they survived summer and winter no problems. I've had a bit hanging down for months that I finally got round to sticking down the other day and if I tug on it, it feels like I'm gonna cave the roof in first :lol:

Hi all

I'm just researching this so interesting thread. One thing I do know is that the secret of successful rubber work ( stop sniggering at the back) is cleaning the surfaces before applying the glue. Have used celley or acetone on other stuff before.

I didn't really clean mine up when I did it a few months ago and mine are still fine!

While installing my p3 gauge the front of the plastic interior floor trim that runs along the door opening popped up. I tried just pushing it back no luck. Do I need to pull the whole strip up and pull the clips out and then put the clips back in the trim to get it to clip in?

Did mine a few weeks ago with some bathroom silicone I had lying around. Still ok at the moment.

So it should be, it's not even got warm yet. That's the true test ;)

Thought I'd update.

Its been warm and still fine!

We'll see in four years time :D

I have replaced that whole trim on another Bmw before and i used impact adhesive in a tube and plenty of masking tape to hold and strap the trim in place until it was set, (Would require leaving the window open for the masking tape) a couple years on and its still in place.
