michaelburrows Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 iv noticed one of the rear door seals on my car has started coming away from the door. it looks like its stuck on with some type of glue. i want to refix it before it gets worse and hangs off. has anyone any idea which glue/sealant would be best to use.

TomsFocus Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 There is a proper fix for this as it's a common Mk3 fault. @iantt knows the right stuff to use... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 There is a bonding agent that ford use but a tube of tigerseal does the job. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333504716586 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest leaving the door open for a while to dry; perhaps obvious but nobody said; Tiger seal is what I would choose; because it remains flexible when fully cured. Much like chewing gum has a small bit of flex left in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddave Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Have the same problem on my Mk4, booked into main dealer on Friday to have it replaced under warranty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, coming off on RH front door of my MK4 too. TVM have probably costed out the spirit wipe process prior to fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Ever had a 306? I snapped the driver's door handle off 3 of those damn cars. Only one was in ice lol!! It's not like I'm particularly strong either...thankfully tech moved on to the tougher pull handles instead of the old flat lifters lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcaouolte Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I broke the door handle on a Mondeo trying to get it open when the door was frozen shut. Since then, at the start of each winter I give the rubber door seals a coat of Gummi Pflege. Never had a door frozen shut since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
