Can Not Source Wurth Adhesive For Sun Roof Seal?


Recommended Posts

Following Bo Black's Tii Restoration, he highly recommend that for the sunroof seal.  After looking around locally as well as Automotive Paint Supply, they don't carry it. I tried calling Wurth, and when they found out I was not a distributor or service provider, they would not sell it to me?

 

So...

Does anyone has some I can borrow (shades of Grey Poupon)?  I will pay for shipping.

 

Is there another source who is more friendly to provide?

 

Is there another product just as good that I can use that you would recommend?

 

Thanks in advance!!

I've always use plain old Weldwood contact cement (solvent-based, not water based).  3M also makes a trim adhesive that's essentially the same thing, AKA Gorilla Snot.  It will outlast the seal itself, and has been holding my sunroof seals in place for 20 or so years...

Exactly what I was going to say.

The Wurth rubber cement seems to have slipped down in adhesive quality since Keith Kreeger recommended it during his tii restoration. It hasn't worked for me well at all on my 69.  The Weldwood contact cement works much better. Follow the directions and let the parts tack up before pressing together.
