The painted door seal on the bottom of my gs400 is starting to split and separate from the door. Its really looking ugly. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make a repair or where can I get a new one in the right color. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,
Chris

 

my door seal started to come apart 1 year after i got it and i took it in the to dealer. being tustin lexus (voted #1 most incompetent in the westside), they said I had caused the problem and wouldnt fix it.

 

How did you fix the problem? Did you buy new ones? If so where did you buy them at and how much did it cost? I'd like to find away to get them fixed with out going to the dealer.

Thanks for the reply,
Chris

 

sorry but i think we're SOL... i looked @ it before and it looks glued or secured pretty tightly. it looks like a daunting job to replace.

 

I cant beleave that we are the only two people with this problem. I take great care of my car and out of the blue the damn rubber seal splits into. Im sure this is going to cost me big time at the dealer. I wish there was and easy fix.

Mine also.

 

My car is black and the seal is black. I really got ticked when it started to tear. I got some black silicone adhesive sealant from Wal-Mart. Brand name is Permatex. 3M also has a similar product. I cleaned the seal and used a toothpick to dab the silicone on the seal. I let it dry for a minute before attaching it to the door so it was a little "tacky." Then I pressed it back together and held it for maybe a couple of minutes. Then I left it alone to dry. I left the door OPEN so the seal would not be pressed against the car and deform as it dried. Worked like a charm. If your seal is painted, get some clear silicone adhesive instead.
