Traveller rear door seals..

Post by Arthurdaily »

Hi all, I have just purchased a new seal for my traveller's rear doors, it is in one piece and shaped, as you'll know... but what do I do at the corners? Bend it and have a kink? OR cut and shape it with a stanley knife?

Thanks!! :D

Whilst I started centre top and didn't cut. :D I opened the fold out and carefully tacked it into the 4 corners using very small tacks (smaller than carpet). The rest is glued using Timebond or a similar glue. The join at the centre top rather than centre bottom as at the top it's protected from any rain coming in by the roof gutter. A new rubber will make the doors slightly more difficiult to shut as they bed in. :wink:

Haha - thanks for the advice. I laugh at the idea of 'difficult to shut'... I have had to to put a wooden strip under my gutter, as the doors are slightly lower than they should be, so I'm really hoping the seals will be tight!!!
