Sealant type...

Guys & gals (PC there ) i've got to change my door trim cards - the long black trim above the door cards/top of the door & the inner scraper seals fit onto it too, also inner door seals/rubbers, which go from the 1/4 window right around the door & B pillar rubbers. Will be getting window scrapers as well pretty soon. Question - what sealant do i need for these? 

The Door Scrapers outers if bought as replacements usually come with dual sided tape.  The inner and outer scrapers are held on with clips and just "POP" off.  The replacements I got actually mount to the door and are taped to the trim piece with dual sided tape.

The  Door Seals are pretty much peel off, and may be glued with a Urethane or Black RTV,  I used Spray contact cement on the Seal at the bottom of the door.

The Upper Black Vinyl Cap on the interior is Only lightly glued it is very brittle and taking it off without using a scraper or thin Putty knife.  You have to remove the inner scraper and door card as well as the door lock button to remove it.

Have fun, as I just redid my seats and cards last week, I had to rebuild the foam for the seat as those bolsters do get some wear.

From this:


To this:


The seats were really showing their age.


I was really tired of the White Interior and top so I am changing it over to a Tan Canvas top and Headliner.

I did find a SEM vinyl spray that matches the interior so the Headliner and Boot Cover are going to match as well as I have seen replacement boots, and they aren't made as well as the originals.

I re-Dyed the seat prior to the vinyl giving out and it lasted about 8 years before it started to show through to the aged white vinyl.
