Door seals

arcturus · Oct 28th, 2014, 09:05

What a B*****D. I now find that the paint shop has replaced the door seals the wrong way round. Removing them destroyed the seals and i need to order new ones! Also for some reason they have filled a hole for a trim strip fixing!

Filled holes are common at the paintshop, for bad luck. Normally they are too small after too. be carefully, you will crack the paint, you open a door for corrosion.Good luck, regards, Kay

Can you get at that panel from the back? If so it's likely to have a bit of filler showing where the hole is. Very tiny drill needed, but any damage will be hidden behind the strip. Annoying but not a disaster. If both holes are there on the other side you may be able to find it by measurement. Lay out the line on a strip of masking tape and attack with a small drill.

What adhesive should I use for door rubbers, Contact?

Another question, is it possible to buy the window "fuzzies" that's the felt like strip that wipes the door windows as they are wound up and down, on a roll rather than on the light frames to which they are attached? I would prefer to glue the felt on rather than have screw heads poking through.

Could you fill the rear part of the trim strip with body filler, then attach to the car with double sided tape?
