LingLing Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 arh, not really, The reason I use this foam seal is because Urethane is going to be extremely hard to take the window off in the future. Am I correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I dont think that foam will work Andy, Im pretty sure it wont be anywhere near strong enough. Im with truenotch, some urethane sealant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Beaver, yeh, I actually found a perfect foam for the car, but also found out although they said It keeps rain etc out they ain't water tight, as I was very suspicious in the first place. The Genuine Toyota Foam Seal come out from my car is also piece of shit as I tested out. It's all pretty much the same as spongy material, it would soak and water stays inside it for ever. No wonder all these POS 80s corolla rust at the quarter window. I really want to go with urethane but Would it be extremely hard to take it out in the future?

slacker.cam Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Toyota uses double sided foam tape from the factory so it's certianly strong enough. But who knows where you might find some of that stuff off the shelf. I imagine pretty much everyone will be using urethane when putting windows back in on AE86s. I've taken shitloads out but never put any back in (seems pretty sad when you look at it like that) so I can't really comment. Maybe ask on aeu86.org and see what people do on there? To remvove them once youve urethaned them in you just push a length of piano wire through and saw through it. Exactly the same as removing a windscreen. It's not hard at all.

Exactly the same as removing a windscreen. It's not hard at all. Right Done. Urethane FTW! That Toyota double sided foam tape is very close to the same material as I could find in mitre 10(only 1 side adhesive tho) You're right about the strength, but that's not what I am worried about. It soaks water... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Urethane will come off using a long, thin blade from the inside - probably easier than foam due to easier clean up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Agreed, Took me ages to clean half of it. Glue gun is expected tomorrow. I am guess, I place the glue first on the frame and slam the windows up with screws and clippers. Will have picture updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That foam tape your looking at is just draught stop.. Its not the same... Smith and smith/ novus guys will have that double sided foam. I use it on sunroofs. Its acceptable to also use foam + urethane as well. Put foam on inside and a bead of urethane around it. Also, why do you want to remove them later?

Nah, these Foam will soak water, the Toyota one I tested few hours before is still wet. Taking off later maybe when I do a whole car sand blasting. just maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 I would use Urethane.HOWEVER. Auto-trim Tape Auto Attachment Tape. Is the double sided stuff you're after. there is a 5-8mm gap between the car and the glass. that's probably one of the reasons I didn't want to use the urethane at the beginning. would be bit cunt to get it right.

Vintage Grumble Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think from factory they are urethaned in, with foam around the outside edge/half under the glass?, possibly to stop the trims from flapping about or some shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRK Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 looks way better with black bumper. Get the bottom of the sills painted black aswel. and the black plastic trim for the sides don't like the look of these things all colour coded. Mine had the bumpers and shit painted blue and it looked gayyyyy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
