How to Repair Window Rubbers

The rubber part of a cars window is erred to as a window rubber. It protects the window as it slides in and out of the car door. Many times, a window rubber can become dry and cracked from weather conditions or from improper maintenance. Window rubbers can also shrink over time. With just a few supplies, they are easy to repair.

Instructions

    1

    Wash the window rubber thoroughly with soap and water. Any type of soap will do; dishwashing soap works well. Wash with a sponge to avoid causing additional damage with the pressure from a hose.

    2

    Dry with a lint-free towel. If the rubber is cracked, a traditional towel can get cut on it, or leave lint behind.

    3

    Apply urethane sealer to the rubber with a paintbrush or applicator pad. Thoroughly coat cracked and chipped areas.

    4

    Cure the urethane overnight. Curing is allowing it to dry before exposing it to the elements, including sunlight and extreme heat.
