Default How to fix the driver door seal ???

Hey Gang !!

Got a simple question for ya ..

Got a 98 GS300 w/ a little cosmetic problem ..

A part of the lower external door seal ( long strip of plastic) is coming apart ..
It's by where the Driver Side door closes..

I tries to use Krazy Glue to glue it back but did not work ..

The dealer wants to charge $70 for a , what, 2 feet of 1/2" plastic stip ??

Anyone have same problem ??

This is getting annoying as hell & cosmetically looks awfull for thos of us who are a little **** ..:-) ..

TIA !!!

If you want to try salvaging the strip, try a different adhesive, such as RTV Silicone or epoxy (I love my hot glue gun, but cars usually get too hot and the glue softens).
