Repair for weather stripping?

[WARP TEN]

There is currently a thread about treatments for weather stripping. I was wondering if there is any repair product for weather stripping that is starting to chip and crack to avoid outright replacement. Any type of rubber caulk like material that might be smoothed into those spots to make it at least a little better before I have to replace it. My A pillar rubber is getting a bit rough.--Bob

Maybe Black RTV until you are able to replace the stripping.

yep, use a rubber glove and rub it into the bad area than let cure 24 hours.

I have used RTV and some plastic newspaper sleeves coated in mold release/non-stick cooking spray. Simply close the door glass on it and let the rtv mold to the shape. The open air ones just smear it over and level it off with a rag etc.

The weather strip does have to be reasonably intact, but i have used this method to repair a slice on my C6- it came out so good you can't even tell where it is without looking closely.

Black weatherstrip adhesive is better. Wrap clear plastic wrap around it and tape it together. Used this on the corners of my rear hatch and it works well

I wondered if that wouldn't work. I'll have to try that too.

Thanks Guys. I will try the RTV or weather strip adhesive. Hopefully I will be able to make it look a little less raggedy.--Bob

I have used 3 M strip caulk ( Black) on some of my older Vets.

Ive used black urethane but the area has to be completely silicone free.
