Sill door seal attachment

[JamesO]

Any advice on how the sill door seal is attached please; the rubber seal seems quite a loose fit in its channel and, washing the car this afternoon, it just came away from the bodywork - some fairly minimal kind of gluey tape is visible in parts but it's pretty much disintegrated. Has anyone re-attached these seals with a more effective method?
Thanks in advance!

Have a search on YouTube. There an in-depth video of an owner fitting new laminated sill plates. He removes these seals, as part of the process. From what I remember there are a series of clips & the best method is to fit the clips to the seal before clipping seal back to the metal.

You should also remove the remains of that ‘gluey tape’ from the bodywork and any that’s on the rubber seal itself. I’ve used Evo-Stick contact adhesive on other areas of the car where rubber has come away from the bodywork and it’s worked a treat. Others have used 3M products such as double sided tape and Super Weatherstrip Adhesive but I didn’t find the double sided tape very good for what I needed.

hi you can buy the clips off of ebay for £2.99...jag wanted £50.00 and then use some silicon to hold the end in place,its a common fault
