curryinahurry 39 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 Hi guys, Was wondering if anyones had experience re-gluing the weatherstrip on an E46 coupe? I've done a bit of research on the net and the glue they used in the states isn't available here in NZ. The previous owner of my cars had a couple of goes at it and made a real mess - I've now cleaned off most of the grip glue he used, but theres still some clear stuff remaining. Would love to hear what you guys have tried and what worked and what didn't! Cheers, Andrew. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've used Ados F2 which works for me, have to be very very careful otherwise in a black interior, it stands out too much if you get it on other places. Apply glue then wait 5 min then hold it tightly in place for a few hours with masking tape. I guess, you could also try vinyl glue and get a small brush to apply, again that could get messy too. I'm sure there is a more appropriate glue but they were available to me easily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted November 11, 2009 I've seen all the unsucessful attempts to repair these... If you find a repair that works...let me know New door seals are probably the only long term fix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
