Fixing a door seal coming loose


NicoN

Recommended Posts

On my M20K, the cockpit door seal starts coming loose on the bottom side. That is where the two ends of the door seal profile meet.

The front part end is now loose on about a distance of 6 inch.

The door seal is not that bad, so I would not like to tear off the whole seal, but want to have a quick fix for the moment.

Of course there is lots of glue underneath the door seal.

What can I do to fasten it? Which glue ?

I have reattached the seal with rubber cement a few times. The problem is that the seal sticks to the door jam after being tied down on a hot ramp for a few days. What are y’all using to combat sticking? Talc powder, Vaseline, Teflon?

Try plumber's silicone grease

Silicon grease, similar to what is used for dive equipment. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DCVZL/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Wipe on, wipe off excess.
