Rubber Seals

[Newbee]

Hi there, my seals have been coming unstuck for a while now, its the ones that start half way up the door colum and travels back along the door channel to the back passenger door, its obvious that when applied it was streched so fifficult to keep in place if I tried to glue it back, does anybody have this problem and fixed it or where do I get replacment seals. Its a (Y) reg 1.4

 

Thanks in Advance

replacement seals will be available through your local citroen dealer and come complete with the double sided tape attached so you only need to clean the surface you will stick them too.

 

as far as resticking the old ones on.....its unlikely you will be successfull and if you need toremove them you willalso need to get the glue off you have just applied.

If you do try to glue your seals in place try clear silicon sealant (the pigment in the coloured varieties reduces the strength and would look messy if it came out from under the seal). The best kind is the stuff they use to stick fishtanks together - so try your local fish supplier.

 

You can refit the seal "dry" and mask off the door to avoid sealant getting on the door. Once the seal is in place and the sealant is starting to cure you can carefully wipe off any excess and remove the tape to leave a tidy looking edge.

 

We use silicon to bond components to glass/carbon/kevlar fuselages in model gliders and it copes with high loads and stresses. However, if necessary it can be peeled off with a bit of patience.

 

Hope this helps.
