Title: Door rubbing strip repair
Post by: Jimbob on 31 August 2010, 17:40:27

This has somehow happened today  >:(

Any ideas on the best way to repair?

Im wondering whether I can heat it up (hairdryer?) and bend it back to shape?

Or whether I need to cut / file some of the bent bit off to stop it getting worse?

Or is it pointless and new strip time?

Looks like a new strip to me. :(

New strip might not do any good either. Had the same problem on mine. The cause is the door sagging. (worn hinges) Bought a new strip and about a month later same problem. Looks like you have the same problem from your pic. Gap between door and fender seems smaller on the botton than the top. I trimmed my strip down to size with an anglegrinder and glued it back on.
