What kind of adhesive should I use to attach a new water shield to my doors and interior quarter panels? Some kind of RTV?

Thanks,

John

 

3m makes a strip caulk (not household caulk) that allows the watershields to be adhered and then peeled away for servicing inside the doors if needed, but then reinstalled without adding more caulk. The 3m strip caulk comes off quickly with 3m General Adhesive Remover. Advanced Auto or a similar chain should have the caulk and perhaps the remover.

I've also seen people use everything from duct tape to seem sealer.

 

+1 on the bedding and glazing compound, its the same thing you use for windsheild installs

 

What about butyl tape that they use on windshield installs. Is that the same as the gedding and glazing compound?

 

butyl tape is used on the 69-73 car for glass installs its not the same thing. the bedding and glazing compound is pretty cheap about 8$ here in town napa and auto zone carries it

 

So, not a good idea to use the butyl tape?
