Plastic skin/seal for doors
16. May 2011 at 17:58

I'm about to replace the front passenger door airbag sensor.

I've got to remove the thin plastic skin to get at the wiring on the bottom strip (to check that too) and remove/replace the sensor.

Any tips for suitable adhesive to use for re-sealing when I'm putting everything back? Or will it remain sticky enough to re-affix without additional adhesive/

Anyone know?

Yes, as long as it`s peeled back carefully.......and try to avoid any splits/rips
