    Default Weatherstripping Coming Loose

    The weatherstripping that came with the kit on my SS7 bubble doors is now after 2 years starting to come loose in a few places. Anybody else with this problem and what is the best way to stick it back on? Or do I need to pull it all off and buy new? Anything better than the sticky tape that comes on the weatherstripping?

    3M weather strip adhesive. Available at most automotive outlets.

    I ordered some 3M from Aircraft Spruce to fix the weather stripping on my bubble door. So far it works great, and does not deteriorate the plastic.

    Yup...everything Paul & Kurt mention about the 3M adhesive is true...I've used the stuff in car restoration with just about all the possible combinations of paint out there....even used ti to butt join weatherstripping that has separated or to add a piece to an existing strip. and I keep finding other things to use it on that it was never intended for
