Follow-up: I didn't word my original question very well, but I was actually mostly wondering what sort of adhesive to use. The original fuzzy strips seem to be in pretty good condition. Anyway, I just contact cemented them back on, and so far so good. If they don't hold up, it might be time for something more drastic... -Owen Tom Watkins wrote: > I bought new NOS fuzzy strips for both windosw from DMCH. I was leery about them being 20 years old and sure enough.....after installing them both sides came undone after 1 day. There was a post not to long ago with the same issue with the NOS fuzzy strips. The gentleman had decided that he would re-glue them prior to installation as he wasn't so sure. I didn't want to take the time to do it so I installed mine...I wish I had. > > I have followed his lead and removed them and carefully....with a razor blade removed the remainder of the fuzzy strip stil glued on. I flipped the rubber strip over to give a a good clean surface and used 3M Black Super Adhesive. I set the fuzzy strip on the glue and positioned it correctly and let it dry.....perfect! They are now back in the car, glued strong and working great. > > I would highly suggest that if you do buy the replacement fuzzy strip from DMC that you re-glue it, even if it looks like it has a good bond. Being a 20+ year old part don't expect it to have the holding power it should. I hope my waste of time will educate those looking to fix their fuzzy strips. I would still recommend getting the DMC replacements BUT don't install them without first re-glueing.
