The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Doors door perimeter rubber snap in type question

I'm mocking up my door fits and for the purpose of mocking up I used door rubber that I got about 25 years ago. After paint I'll likely put new ones in. Anyway these rubbers have the plastic pins. They fit great and the doors close very nice however I think due to age the plastic pins have shrunk. I ecpected the pins to "snap" into the holes however they're a loose fit that pop out easily-I won't expect that the plan was for glue to hold them in place..What do you think? underszed plastic pins?

Thanks,

Keith

I've found the plastic pins are rarely a tight fit - the originals had springy metal wire 'pins' that "self adjusted" to hold better, but likely affected the holes over the years [called rust ] all the correct metal retainers [bottom and corners], along with glue in a few places as insurance is a necessity, especially around the dogleg

I would just get some 3-M weather strip adheasive an lock it down.
It is good stuff.
just my 2 cents
