Glue for door vapor barrier
I need to replace the vapor barrier in the door of a friend's car. In my
Civic the vapor barrier is held in place by a chewing-gum like adhesive that has held up well for over 10 years. Does anyone know where I can find this type of adhesive? Thanks -- ================================================== ===== A very modest collection of Honda tech info can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/ng_randolph |

I don't know where you could find that off hand. I would think that a parts store would have it. Have you thought about using double faced tape? Brian |

In my experience only one thing really works: <http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/auto_marine_aero/automotive_aftermarket/node_GSN04SFBB0gs/root_GST1T4S9TCgv/vroot_GSLPLPKL4Xge/bgel_GSZSZ5F858bl/gvel_Q5D2V4SCM0gl/theme_us_aad_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html> Sorry about that rediculously long URL. It points to 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive 08001 You should be able to find it at an automotive supply store like UAP It's a yellow color and incredibly sticky.

The stuff that holds it reminds me of plumber's putty but is much stickier. I'd still expect it to be a 3M product and it might be the same thing you describe. It definitely isn't rubber cement, which would stink and harden. Mike Mike |

Re: Glue for door vapor barrier
I don't know that you necessarily need to use the OEM stuff for this
sort of job. When replacing these barriers on various cars in the past I have used GE SiliconeII clear cauking and a butyl cauking made for sealing rain gutters. These were materials that I had tubes of availble for cauking around my house and sppear to have adhered strongly and sealed well. They certainly are made to withstand all types of weather and moisture exposure. Ken Randolph wrote: > I need to replace the vapor barrier in the door of a friend's car.

They use it to seal vapor barrier in houses, but it's awful stuff. :-( Comes off your hands with WD-40. If you knew you were NEVER going to open the door panel again, it might be OK. I just use a bit of contact cement on top of the old sealant that's in there, to reseal it. Since you're changing the whole gasket, you'll want something closer to the real stuff. Hopefully a person who works at a good stereo intallation place can tell you what to use. 'Curly' |

That's just called a 'plastic cover' in the shop manual, but I can see it's resemblence to vapour barrier. I think the 3M stuff would hold it though. The shop manual just says 'apply adhesive' without specifying what kind. |
