FridgeFreezer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Refitting the under-screen ventilation flaps with new rubbers I have come across a problem - the rubber seals do not want to attach in any way to the channel, are they supposed to be stuck in with something or have I got the wrong part (EG defender if they're different)?

steve b Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 they are glued onto bulkhead aperture on series & onto the flap on 90/110 IIRC you must be close now if you are sorting out potential drafts FF ........mines been on the road 3 yrs after a 3 yr sympathetic historic resto and my door seals are only half done 2 heaters tho so its not cold in the winter. have you got any piccies with the portals ? be good to see some if so Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I use Evo-Stick (or similar luvverly-smelling adhesive) position the seal, close the flap and leave it that way for a couple of days, then use a big pry bar to open the flaps for the first time as the excessive glue you used has welded the damn things closed!

Tonk Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 just use any silicon sealant type stuff to glue them on, as Les says leave em shut for a day or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
