Hi folks,
I am trying to get the Jag (Mk2) up together to use for my cousin's wedding in September. Ever since I have had it the rubber door seals have been coming adrift. Can anyone recommend a glue for sticking them in permanently?
cheers

Last thing I would use is a epoxy adhesive you need something that remains flexible with the rubber otherwise it will just breakaway from the adhesive and should you ever have to remove / replace the rubber I doubt that you would remove an epoxy adhesive from the paintwork without damage to the paint itself - what you need is a high temperature resistant trim adhesive www.martrim.co.uk/car-trimming-supplies/glues-and-adhesives.phpThe high temp spread - in the white one litre tin on the page link above is what is utilised in the trade for such work (amongst many other trim applications) |

Hi temp adhesive would be better. I only mentioned epoxy as the OP said permanant. |

Thanks @grumpynorthener and petroholic - high temp glue now ordered, so hopefully should be able to stick the wayward door seals back on at the weekend. Any hints and tips, other than cleaning the surfaces well? |

Any hints and tips, other than cleaning the surfaces well? Ensure that you remove the old glue residue if you can then remove any silicone or greases -Spirit or panel wipe is ideal for cleaning these areas - you could also use methylated sprit has an alternative |

Another tip: to give yourself a bit of time for seal adjustment, apply the glue to one surace (usually the metal) and fit the seal while the glue is still wet. If you apply it to both surfaces and let it dry (which you can do when sticking other things together), it will grab the second the two surfaces make contact, so sliding the seal into place will be impossible.
