What to use to replace the string with putty on it to hold the plastic

[nothingbutdarts]

I tried searching threads for an answer, no luck. I have the door panels off, I need to cut new plastic that is stuck onto the inside of the doors and the back panels, what are people using for the putty?
Thanks!

If you are talking visqueen, I would be tempted to use regular old silicone. It wouldn't take much, just use your finger and smear a thin line around the opening.

dum dum would be closest to original minus the string. They should be taped in a few spots as well

This is the morlite, the color is more white when installed.

The blue masking tape is what I had on had at the moment but you can get black gaffers tape,

I just used tape along with the existing stuff.

Make sure the plastic is tucked into the slot at the bottom.

I just used heavy duty garbage bags like for a 55 gal. The thicker the better and dumb dum from Napa about 1/4 x 15” long. Works great.

Strip caulk, end to end, and some heavier clear poly .

Is that tuck to drain condensation into the door?

Stuff in my 67 looks like butyl almost ...you could use a skinny strip of black butyl tape..then the black tape...which is wide like duct tape..but not.. similar to wide black masking tape, but not quite..lol

Yes and any water that comes in from the glass slot, it isn't perfect.

My one family owned 67 dart had white dumdum like material holding all plastic in place, much of it is still flexible.

The bottom tape was black looked like masking tape and had long ago hardened to being fragile and non adhesive.

I assume it was a tape that was semi water resistant.

It didn't need to be, it is on the dry side and an inch up or so as the bottom should be tucked in the slot.

I'm probably confusing the newer ****.
Probably is white/beige with age. Ive done and do a lot of work ..on a lot of cars. The little things like door panel undersheeting ..
If it were mine I'd be comfortable using either...uh how about blue painters tape..lol eh nah.. I wouldnt go that far. Jk

I have to pull the back seat in the not to distant future and for sure I'll be changing out that blue tape for some black masking tape. It mortified me to use it, like putting on dirty underwear, only you know it's there but you worry that you might get into an accident!
