Best Glue for Fixing Opel Astra F '92 Door Seals: Recommendations & Adhesive Options

Best answers

How can I reattach the door seal on an Opel Astra F from 1992, and what adhesive should I use if it keeps coming loose?

The Astra F door seal is reportedly meant to be pressed in, not glued, so the first step is to remove it, clean the seal and body channel thoroughly, and press it back in place [#8274723][#7977409] If you still want an adhesive, forum users recommend Sikaflex because it is said to stick well to rubber and metal [#7975660] Another suggestion is a windshield-installation sealant, which should be applied, pressed together, and left overnight to cure [#7976944] A few users also mention that strong double-sided automotive tape can work for trims and seals, but the original poster said it did not solve this case [#7976542]

    Double-sided tape can also be used for strips and gaskets. Most of them are waterproof. You can buy chemical or automotive products of various widths. And the simplicity of use ... Some time ago I stuck the letters on the back of the car flap and so far also sticks like a devil mother-in-law.

    Hello, I use a sealant such as for the installation of windshields. Lubricate, press, wait [preferably for the night] and it's ready and it holds like a "mayor's dog," Regards

    You have to "take it off", clean it and "stick" it again! Greetings!

    Sikaflex dries slowly, and if you dress your hands, you will not wash it.
    As for the Astra F, the gasket is originally not glued, but pressed in, as it probably sticks out under it full of muck. Take it out, rinse everything well, and put it back in.

    Hold it, it holds it too well sometimes.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers around the best adhesive options for fixing the door seals of a 1992 Opel Astra F. Users recommend using Sikaflex, a strong adhesive that bonds well to rubber and metal, although it dries slowly. Alternatives mentioned include automotive double-sided tape, which has proven ineffective for some, and windshield sealant, which requires pressing and waiting for it to cure. There are also suggestions to clean and reapply the seals if they appear warped or detached. Concerns about the longevity and effectiveness of these adhesives are raised, particularly regarding their application in automotive environments.
