How do you fix a seal on a car door?
The weather stripping on my car isn’t keeping the moisture out. It’s an older car so I figured I couldn’t do anything, but maybe I can just replace the seals. How do you fix a seal on a car door?

You can fix a seal on a car door with the following:
- New weather-stripping
- Adhesive
- Brake cleaner
First, you’ll need to remove the old weather-stripping. Pull it away from the door frame and clean the surface with brake cleaner.
Once the door frame is dry, you can apply a bead of adhesive. Put it both on the weather stripping and the door frame.
Allow it to dry completely.
Then, add a second layer to both layers and press the stripping into place. You can tape it in place with masking tape until it dries, which should take about an hour.
DIY repairs can be fun! They’re also a smart way to save money. But saving money is easier if you just look for a cheaper
