Door Wetherstrip
What should I use to install the new Door Wetherstrip that I just bought for my truck. The old one is obviously glued on with something. Is there something I sould apply before installing the new one?
Thanks,
Chad

Also, Your Ford dealers parts dept. will have a tube of Black Motorcraft weatherstrip adhesive.

Chad,
You should be able to find tubes of Automotive Weather Stripping Glue at your local autoparts store or Walmart. 3M sells the larger tubes in orange boxes that is more than enough to do both doors. I bought a smaller black tube of another brand, but found that it was only enough to do one door, so I had to buy another tube of it to finish the other door. Also, it might help to clean away any large chunks of old glue and weather stripping to allow the new weatherstripping to seal properly. I would also wipe down the door frame with a moist spong or towel to make sure there is no dirt or dust to hamper the bonding of the glue to the body of the truck. Good Luck.
