I'm getting ready to install my door panels. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what kind of rubber molding I could use, so I don't have metal to metal contact.

thanks Brett

Some 3M double sided tape might work but the stuff I have laying in the drawer seems like it'd be too thick. Maybe it comes in thinner sizes? 3M strip caulking is a putty type substance that can be used and might work. I'm interested in what others might suggest.

I haven't found anything that would work.I am thinkin about taking some clear tubing and slicing it. Just wish I could find a product made for this. We use something similar for electrical panels. We cut and run wire thru, but it is to wide and would show.

I was thinking of maybe tool dip... tape off your piece and brush some on possibly? If they are epoxy primed I'd think that's good enough. No?


Give me ambiguity

Tool dip sounds like a better idea than what I suggested.

I've been laughing at myself since I posted that idea cause I had someplace in mind for it but couldn't recall what or where for the life of me... finally it just dawned, the edge of the heat diverter inside my heater box. It kind of needs to rub against the side to maintain some friction to stay in a middle postition but the scrapping sound just seemed off. so that's when I thought of that stuff. Like Red say's...
