I just recieved new pillar and top seals, What type of adhesives would be best to use? Are there any technique involed in installing these seals? Any help would be Great! Thanks Hank
Top frame seals use screws, (don't loose the original ones when you remove them). The pillar post seals slide in the channel and the top header seal has push pins. You really shouldn't need any adhesive. You could use SPARINGLY 3M weatherstrip adhesive on the ends. DL
I found that in some areas, adhesive is adviseable. I use black 100% silicone caulk, especially around the door bottoms and lower door corners. The pillar seals may need some adjusting either in or out to get a good seal against the glass, again silicone is flexible and weather tight. I use blue masking tape to hold the weather strip where I need it. Apply the silicone and let it set up over night.
Hi Lee Where is the best place to pick up Silicone caulk? let it set with the doors and windows closed? or leave everthing open?
Lowe's or Home Depot or a good auto parts store should have it. I would leave the doors and windows closed while it sets up since the seals will be in their hopefully proper positions. If the sealant is applied too thickly and the doors and windows are left open when it sets up it could put the seals in a position to make proper closure harder.
Im in the process of redoing my door hingdes over there sagging ,should i complete them and adjust the doors properly first?
