Q: How do I stop my car door rubber insulation from sticking to itself and pulling loose?
A: This usually happens when the rubber gets very dirty, sticky and/or dried out. It starts to stick to itself, and then the insulation gradually pulls away from either the car door or the car door jam as the door is used. First, you’ll need to thoroughly clean the rubber insulation strips on both the door, and the car door jam. This can be done with any good cleaning solution. Be sure to use plenty of water to rinse the area when you’re finished. After washing and thoroughly rinsing, pat the rubber dry with a towel and then allow it to air dry completely. Leave the door open during these operations. When the rubber is completely dry, treat it with some Armor All. I’d suggest using two Armor All treatments – the second after the first dries. The rubber should appear ‘wet’ when the treatments are completed.
Sounds great. Which products specifically??
For the cleaning solution, you can use 409, dishwashing liquid and water, or Ivory liquid and water – among others.
