Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Trucks / December 2005Butyl tape today?
I am trying to re-seal the door panel on my truck. I have 2mil plastic sheeting which is sold as painting drop cloth. I have learned that butyl tape is the way to go to attach it to the door. Napa can order it for me, but my hope is that it is available in stock if I just knew what who to ask. Oh, and I would be happy to also hear if I should get some other plastic sheeting that may stick better to the butyl compound. Ideas?

Many of the wholesale paint houses that sell replacement body panels will sell retail as well and have this type of supplies. davidj92 You might be able to find it at the local hardware store; It is also used to seal flashing on roofs. > I am trying to re-seal the door panel on my truck. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Ideas?

I'd like to do that as well. It may be a few days before I have any more to report. After a few more phone calls today, I gave up and used duct tape. There is another storm forecast for Friday, so I will get to see how well it worked. If it does not work then I guess I will order the 60 foot roll of butyl tape that Napa auto can get me. >> I am trying to re-seal the door panel on my truck. >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> >> Ideas? SignatureDoug Herr doug*at*wombatz*dot*com Abody shop removed thatplastic sheet years ago and I've lived with the noise and seeping air. I like your idea about trying to seal it. > > Let us know how it goes.

When I had to wait for a new piece of glass to come in, the guy at the glass shop placed some temporary plastic sheeting and secured it with what I believe was butyl tape. As I recall, they even had it in tube form, similar to the ones that are used for caulking. They might be willing to sell you what you need or, at the very least, put you in touch with a local supplier that has it in stock. Hope this helps. Peter. > Let us know how it goes.
