Hello folks,

 

The missus recently picked up a new (to her) Focus, over time we have noticed that there are a couple of small nicks in the door rubber seals on the drivers door and the boot hatch.

They're quite small and there is nothing to suggest they are leaking or anything - so it doesn't justify going out and buying new seals at silly expense, however im conscious that if left they will only get bigger over time.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a sealant or rubber cement type product that is suitable for the job of closing them up and is good for quite fine application that wont look too obvious - if it looks too obvious and unsightly I'll end up getting told off!

 

Cheers

3M weatherstrip adhesive. 
Just be very careful when applying as you really only need a very small amount of product. Leave the door/boot open until it bonds properly. 
For cracks I would be tempted to use a toothpick to dab a small amount onto the inside of the cracked seal and then pinch lightly until it holds on its own, and then leave to set.

It's only a small triangular slit in the boot seal and a area about an inch or ao long on the drivers door sill where it looks like the previous owner has kept scuffing their foot against it getting in/out so was thinking application using a needle or toothpick or similar would probably work and saves leaving an unsightly mess all over the seal.
