Hope I am posting this in the correct place.
Lots of things going wrong with my 98 Jimmy.
But if I am going to keep it, this HAS to be fixed:
the drip rail (right name?) that the weatherstripping
attaches to on the body around the door opening
has several spots where is has rusted away.
So the weatherstripping has nothing to hold to.
I have used gorilla snot to try & glue it back on,
but it keeps coming off.
Has anyone else had this happen - & if so,
how did you fix it??
Please help!

 

Here are 3 pics showing what I am talking about.
Anyone have any advice?

 

ah the weather stripping (drip rail is what goes along the bottom of the window)
but in that case, without welding in some new metal, clean the rust off with a wire brush attached to a drill, then sand it with 80 grit sand paper, then spray some rust converter primer over it.
Once that is done (let the primer dry for 12 hours) Go to an auto parts store, and pick yourself up some weather stripping adhesive. and glue it in place.

That is about the best you can do without welding in some new sheet metal.

I think it should do the job pretty well for now. It will prevent it from getting worse too with the primer/rust treatment.

 

+ clean the weather strip with a little acetone or laquer thinner before using any adhesive

 

Yes, I should said that with all the rust that is most likely on it.
but i figured it would be common sense LMAO
