w@ntonsoup Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 The weatherstripping came off a few years ago on my 2006 RX400h's rear hatch door. (Moving big items in and out rubs against it, it's inevitable it seems if you use it for cargo!) I got away with a few years of using the black goo glue to put it back in place, but now it's in tatters and stretched and it's done. I need to replace it. The hinge for the hatch door seems to stop the new weatherstripping from going on easily - does anyone know if this is a DIY job? Thanks for your help.

w@ntonsoup Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Got the Chilton (thankfully from my library) and it's got literally nothing on weatherstripping replacement (doors or hatch). So that was useless.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The parts person at your dealership can show you (and maybe print out) an exploded view of that assembly. Some online dealership websites contain the same thing, but with lower resolution images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyitsme2022 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 What did you end up doing? Same problem here, hoping to fix cheaply instead of replacing it. What glue did you use for your temporary fix? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 3M makes an adhesive called 847. It is specifically for bonding rubber/gaskets to a variety of materials. It is also fuel and oil resistant. It comes in a 5 oz tube (brown in color). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
