attaching door rubbers / cheap weather stripping
attaching door rubbers / cheap weather stripping
What are people using to attach inner/outer door rubbers and similar rubbers?
I tried to use the search function but its broken, so i thought i would just post a new topic
From the outset i will say that i hate contact bond and refuse to use it!
Also anyone found a place to buy weather strip by the meter or some such? 240 odd bucks for a couple of weather strips doesn't sit well... I was thinking about heading to the wrecker and seeing what i could make work...

for glueing the rubbers in gary V8EK4US used a like superglue (not the $2 shop stuff, made for glueing rubber) and then that's what i used as like you i hate contact and i found it much better only prob was a bit fiddly as the glue that i used is very runny (like water)

As long as it it 406 it will do ya - dont use 401 on stuff that is porous , it wont stick properly.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Sunshine Coast. Auto Hardware:

Scott's Old Auto Rubber. No. 260.109 looks close BUT could be wrong dimensions.

There's ebay also, but the only ones i can find are complete rubber kits for nearly the same prices as *AR* *PA*E* (they haven't really done anything too bad so i don't think it would be fair to name them properly-just seem overpriced)
Haven't tried Clark Rubber yet, but i'll be checking them soon. I think $60 per outer seal seems over the top for something that probably costs $2 a metre to make. If other places sell similar types by the metre for around $8/metre, and if we use 5m maximum for each door outer seal, then it should be more like $40.
