emu 0 Posted January 10, 2012 In a middle of replacing door polypropylene membrane (foil) and I like the idea of sticky glue. Don't really want to use any silicone etc and like it to be waterproof as I'm fed up drying my carpet every few days so...... if anybody know what VW is using to glue water membrane on front doors I will be thankful.

Supercharged 2 Posted January 11, 2012 They used to supply this sealant in a tube - amazing stuff as iy can be re-used, not found anything else quite as good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 11, 2012 Butyl roll. Seals well, cheap and non-permanent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted January 11, 2012 I've got a roll of the stuff, it's a bit thicker than the OEM but does the job. How much do you need? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkFoster 0 Posted January 11, 2012 Where can you get butyl roll from Kev / Dave? I need enough to do 2 doors... Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 11, 2012 Ebay :D To be honest, the last time I did door membranes I just gaffer taped some plastic sheet over the hole and it's been fine ever since. Unlike the MK2 Golf, inner door sealing isn't quite so critical on the Corrado. I ran the car for a while with no membrane at all when developing some door pods and no water ever got into the car.

joebloggsVR69 0 Posted January 11, 2012 The $tealers sell 3M butyl on a roll (p/n at top of page), and it's more than enough for both doors. Was about £16 for 5mtrs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I left my car without membrane for one rainy night and ended up having 2cm of water on a floor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was about £16 for 5mtrs Which is comparable to some of the ebay prices I've seen and 3M is pretty much the best there is. wow, how's that ?? I left my car without membrane for one rainy night and ended up having 2cm of water on a floor. I had no membranes for over 2 weeks and I certainly didn't get 2cm of water in the car!! I park on level ground and my exterior wiper seals are new. Very little water seems to get inside my doors when hosed :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
