Adhesive(glue) you use to apply new door rubber etc.

Post by gingofthesouth »

So I am gonna install all the new rubbers myself into my Datsun for something to do :)

I wanna do it right so I want to know what adhesives you guys recommend for installing rubber weatherstripping into your cars.

1. What have you used?
2. Has it lasted?
3. Where did you buy the product from.

Thanks in advance.

Ados F2 contact adhesive.
You have to take your time and be very careful. It's too easy to get the glue on parts of the rubber/door that you dont want it on, and once the seal touches the adhesive on the panel thats it, it's stuck. And if you pull it off, it'l tear and leave a bit of the rubber stuck where it had been.

Care, patience, and a steady hand are all mandatory if you want a tidy finished result.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............
