As regulars here know I recently purchased a 1970 280se Cab. The car had been repainted and never had the door seals installed. The best price I have found is from Miller's at $245 each. My doors do not have any form of seal mounting hardware and I am told that the seals simply glue into place... is this correct? What glue should I be using?

Thanks,

Yeah but it aint the glue its the groove. Door seals will be form fitted with ribbed edges that grab just right on sheet metal edges. And caint be stretching em when you install em either or else you'll end up with too much weather strip strung too tight. I wrastled with drivers door seal once and it took me a couple of hours using popsickle sticks for homemade tools to set it right. You will see it aint easy.

Glue aint much of the operation, but Elmer's Rubber Cement is pretty good. The boogery stuff that never dries solid and remains like rubber. Very forgiving, harmless and non-toxic that wont score surfaces. Also useful for securing any loose interior trim or door panel skins without making a mess. Highly recommended - Elmer's Rubber Cement. Have also used it for caulking and sealing cracked electrical system wires in engine compartment.

I just don't see any sheet metal edges for the stripping to fit into.

It was sedan that i wrastled with, figured convertible would be the same.
