I used rubber solution from a bicycle repair kit ... was a bit desperate at the time but it worked really well !!

there is an earlier thread on what adhesives peeps recommend for the door seals

The only bit that needs to be stuck is the bottom section of the cab doors, the remainder of the cab door and all the other rubbers are secured by the seal channel.

You have to pull the door lock pin out first,then slide the door seal over the lock then starting at the top of the door push the seal into the door groove that runs all around the door, the seal goes in square side first, you should only need to glue the seal along the bottom edge use either contact glue or silicone both are good, one word of warning use the best quality German made seals don't use the cheap grey marshmallowish seals they are complete crap

If you are doing the rear hatch put some duck tape along the top edge until the glue dries

I have just bought some 'budget' door seals from C&C - still cost me £20.00 each and they are shit! I thought the idea once the door seals are fitted you can close the door? maybe I'm missing something :suicide:

I'd use masking tape unless you either want to remove some paint or be left with tape residue.

 

[Bazzaworld]

Sorry, yes you must put masking tape on the paint work then duck tape on top of that to hold the seal in until the glue dries
