Inner rubber gasket on doors

[jcostantino]

On my passanger's side, the door gasket (which runs along the headliner) is starting to get loose and is falling down. Is there any way to tighten it back up and fix it in place? I was thinking of putting a bead of silicone in it and gluing it back on after I fix my headliner.

You have the right idea,a little RTV Adhesive works wonders.

There is actually a product designed for this application called Weatherstrip Adhesive. I found some at a local auto parts store.

Along the lines of door gaskets, on my drivers side the top seal on the door starts to drip when it is raining out and I am going down the road. The weather stripping is perfect and not cuts. Does my door just need to be adjusted or do you think that something else is wrong??

Cool! I'm going to have to do that when I redo my headliner.

Same here, except the back passenger door does it also.

I had the same problem when I bought the car.

As I recall the gasket slides onto a metal crimp in the frame and then is secured with adhesive. Mine had gotten road grime in the groove and the adhesive had come loose. I pulled away that part of the gasket and cleaned it out before applying some weatherstrip adhesive. Voila, no more leaks.
