Hello, the door apertures on my DS have a U shaped channel pushed over the seam and then spot welded in position. The channel holds the rubber door seal and is a water and rust trap.
I am replacing the U channel. I can either plug weld it or glue it.
Weld through primer seams to be useless. The bare metal needed for welding means it will rust again.
I may have already convinced myself to glue it, but which glue?
Sikaflex do a bewildering range of adhesives.
Which adhesive, not necessarily Sikaflex, would be favourite?
