Door Seals
Posted by 53 Cavalier On 2024/5/23 10:17:55
I picked up these door seals at our clubs swap meet. Mine are leaky, so I think this will be a project this summer or fall. These are the generic glue on ones, but look like they are correct. Do you think so too?
I remember reading about doors being harder to close after new seals were installed and wondered if I would be sorry if I did this project this spring? Will I be slamming my doors all summer? Maybe I should do this project in the fall and let the seals sit over the winter so they can find their shape and be ready for next spring? Or will a warm sunny day do the trick?
Thoughts?
PSA (Packard Service Announcement) If you replace your front windshield, remember to glue these back down, otherwise water runs down and weeps though the wind lace, about where the door switch is, to your door panel.
I don't think it leaks as long as you're driving, but I would suggest that the adhesive is less expensive than the fuel.
