Guest wally888 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Recently replaced cam sensor magnet, oil press. sender, oil level sender-adjusting headlights soon and am wondering if anyone has a secret for repairing seals? I suddenly have a water leak in the seal, where it is in two pieces, on a coupe, just above the vent window. Not the door seal but one above. I would also like to repair the seals attached to the top of the ragtop where they join the windows. Long ago they made, what I called, rubber to metal cement and I had an old tube of what I call liquid rubber. Neither of these seem to be on the market anymore? Wondering about adding a semi-liquid, black rubber to damaged places, maybe using Saran Wrap or something to shape/form and keep from sticking until dry. Any ideas?

Roadster90 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Those convertible top over window (4 pieces) seals are difficult to find. I once was going to buy one (1) from somewone who wanted a 100.00 for it (1)...I thought that was outrageous at the time and passed on it....I have never seen another one since <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_REATAMANZ Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Wally,My father in law about four years ago had rubber in a tube for shoe repair. I used that with some request. Just thinking you might want to google shoe repair material or rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest F14CRAZY Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 At least for the coupe's door/window seals, pickup some really small diameter vacuum/washer fluid rubber hose, and stick it up behind the seals. It works pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jcc3inc Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hello,I remember as a kid that my Dad used something called "Solo", a plastic rubber which you could add to worn heels or soles. You roughened and cleaned the surface,applied rubber cement, then put on the rubber compound and let it sit overnightor warmed it in the oven. It cured, and was reasonably durabale. I don't know ifsuch a thing is still made or not!Edit::: After I thought about this, how about trying some silicon seal for a build-up of the surface area. It is very long lasting, and should be easy to apply.Regards,Jack C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
