New weather seals question

Featured Replies

I have a complete MSA weather seal kit I'm about to start applying to my 240.

What, if any adhesive do you guys reccomend? 

I'll start with the hatch then the doors. Thank you for any advice on this. I've read NONE is needed but hesitant to do that because of other threads I've read that reccomend something black in the channels. Not sure of the product though. Thanks for any advice from experienced applications.

 

 

 I prefer 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive. Available at O'Reilly.

get 3m in black and get 3m all purpose adhesive remover for clean up? I installed dry tape into position and the do a 3rd or a half section at a time. 

Mark, are you talking about the 8001 sealant? We used to call that “Yellow death” in the machine shop. It’s nasty.....

I think Mark may be referring to the 8008 adhesive.

I'd only do the spots that might come loose, like the corners and the ends.  Maybe even use none, then lock it down later if needed.  If you find that one of them is a problem you'll have to remove all of the goop that you just laid down.

 Nope, not the "Yellow death". Jim is correct, it's the 8008 adhesive. Good tip on the 3M adhesive remover. I've never tried that.
