Waetherstrip loose

SiCop · 03-29-2007, 04:17 PM

I had the dealer replace my drivers side door weatherstripping due to excessive "wind noise". Now the weatherstrip won't stay put in the upper corner by the A-Pillar and at the top - it starts to pull loose. Any suggestions on how to get it to stay put?

glue it in place...i think there is a silicone for this. i am sure you can find it at a local auto parts store

squeeze the weatherstripping together where it grabs onto the doorjamb/metal.
I personally wouldn't glue it b/c I might want to take it off one day...

Mine did that in a few areas when I first got my car. I pulled the weatherstripping partly off, squeezed the gap nearly closed, then pushed it back on. It hasn't come off/loose since.

Thanks! Worked like a charm - never noticed that the weatherstrip was somewhat rigid and would hold it's shape if you squeezed the channel together.
