Door skin sealing

[matthewb1985 0]

My passenger door skin isnt sealed along the bottom of the door. Never noticed this before so it could explain my wet carpets.

 

What shall i use to seal it back up?

 

Cheers

I use local motor factor type places,but its likely that places such as frost.co.uk sell it :)

i've used some decent gaffer tape and it seems to do the job. spent a good while neatly taping it on. not sure what tank tape is - assuming tape with extra strong adhesive?

Duck tape etc won't last - use black silicon sealent (B&Q)

cool - will use this alongside the tape for now then.

sikaflex silicone sealant or get any high strength black sealant from B&Q etc etc....

 

Bostik high modulas is also very very good but its abt £8 for a tube

 

if you got a screwfix near you they have have tons of suitable sealants for pennies too

Or get Screwfix to deliver....

 

As they mainly supply people in trade, you pretty much get your stuff the next working day. Superb company to order from.

Lasted years on the mk1,in fact its still on there super duper water tight :lol:

 

The silicone type stuff is whats used originally though...
