Recenlty replaced a door, but the new one didnt come with the rubbing strip. i managed to get this off the old door easy enough, but not quite sure what i should use to stick it back onto the new door with!

Never done this, but I'm guessing Tiger Seal might do the trick as it seems to stick nearly everything else. :dunno:

Get it on eBay or probably your local car accessory shop or motor factor.

:beers:

Old Mac Rocco on here will know doubt tell you about a tape he bought that he has used to stick his strips on with. Think he got it from his local Motor factors. I know these tapes can be excellent for this type of thing and I'm sure come in different widths etc.

looks good, cheers dude!

any idea if this stuff is removable at a later date, without damaging the paint? ( i know, i havent even stuck the trim back on yet, but always thinking ahead!)

Tape also sounds like a good idea, looks like i'll be going to the motorfactor's one way or another tomorrow!

Got the tape, and it worked a treat!


exactly the same width as the trim, and looks like the same stuff that was originaly used :hugegrin:
