Door Weatherstip Cement Procedure

[Mark Schue]

After cementing the door weatherstip should I leave the doors open till the adhesive dries or should I close the doors?

Does it even matter?

I didn't even bother with adhesive as the door weatherstrip sticks on fairly well all by itself. As far as the adhesive drying with the doors open or closed I doubt it matters.

Mike,

Did you use OEM seals, or the aftermarket ones with the welting built in?

The aftermarket "Precision" seals. I didn't realize that the design was different from OEM.

OEM 240Z seals are separate from the "U" shaped welting that clips over the seal and the metal lip on the car. The Precision seals are more like the OEM 280Z version where the welting and seal are all one unit.

BTW, I agree on it not mattering igf the doors are closed or not when installing new seals. (Unless the install was sloppy and adhesive could get on the door and glue the new seal to the door, not a good thing, RIPPPPP)

the two door seals from Precision and they fit great. No adhesive needed. I expected the doors to give me problems from the outset after installation. But both doors close fine. Maybe it's not sealing properly. Should this worry me? Now i have only 16 more pieces to go.
