Door seal adhesive?
What do people recommend to use to reattach door seals to the door frames? Driver and passenger door seals are sagging at the top.

Contact adhesive works best, allows a bit of time to move things around too.

The seals have a metal band/thread contained within the manufacturing process! As Mse iimplied careful manipulation with a long piece of wood and pressure on a flat surface they can be made to grip again! You shouldn't really need to use any sealant or adhesive to get them to remain in position!
Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Hi SEB
I assume it's the top one right? Both my fronts have done the same. on mine you can see where the original glue was and was only applied in places. I have bought some spray contact glue and it is on the "jobs to do" list but for now I just thump them back home.

I work with a guy who removed his door seals and then applied some denzo tape before putting the seal back in place.

If you can see there is parts that have none of the (original) glue on.

When this happens I just thump the seal back on.

Same problem here, fitted by the dealers using new seal and a stronger adhesive. Until now, working OK.

I had both the driver and passanger door seals replaced under warrenty because of this, then later out of warrenty I just stuck them in place. Thumbs Up
