MORE Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hi guys, I have another annoying problem. With the first rains, infiltrations return to the right door. The window regulator mechanism was replaced, and so the protection broke. Now I have inserted an inner sheet and an outer nylon sheet with an adhesive tape. Is there a better remedy than the one I used today? Thanks for your advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 That’s spot on - only improvement would be slightly thicker sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Butyl rubber adhesive and thick plastic sheet... or neutral cure silicone sometimes sticks, but you need to find the right kind of waterproof material. The glue they use on tape wont last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glue they use on tape wont last It’s no hardship to replace the tape after a few years... anyway, the window clips will fail long before the duct tape looses its adhesion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORE Posted September 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Thanks for your suggestions. Do you think this will be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 This is nearly the same as vw use I have recently found out (different colour). It stays sticky and is like rubber. https://www.bcprofiles.co.uk/everbuild-145-butyl-rubber-sealant-300ml-grey/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 You can't get the OE ones from VW anymore, long obsolete, but you could buy a sheet of 3A0 867 201 H which is a similar material to the Lupo one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
