My rear door seal things seem to droop down constantly. Does anyone have any recomendations on how to fix the problem without becoming permanent? I am starting to think rubber cement would probably be OK. Thanks.

Silicone would be a good choice,it will stand up better to time and weather.

 

I also have this problem on my 98 S70s. From what I can tell these seals aren't glued on from the factory. All I do is work the seal back up under the trim on the inside of the window and that's usually good for a couple of months before it drops down again. So far I haven't seen the need to glue it on....

 

yeah i've got the same problem, but my father's glass shop hooked me up with some silicone epoxy and it's all set and good.

 

simul8guy,

The front doors have not done it to me at all, but the rears do it about once every two weeks. A couple of months is understandable, but they are starting to get on my nerves. I plan on trying the silicone. Thanks to everyones advice.

 

I haven't had any issues with my front door seals either, just the rears. If you try the silicone adhesive let us know what brand you used, take a couple of pics of where you applied it, and let us know how it turned out.

I have had the same problem as well with the 850 and S70, I found that using automotive grade double sided tape works.

 

I finally did something about my door seals. The silicone I used wasn't anything special, although I did make sure that it was a waterproof silicone and I preferred clear. Basically, I just peeled out the part of the seal that was giving me trouble, plus a little more, and applied the silicone in the groove of the rubber that makes contact, put it back on, and then held it there for a minute. I checked on it a couple more times that night, and it was all good. It hasn't been too long since then, but it seems to be doing fine.

 

Thanks for checking back in. It should last.
