Overview
|
This seal was developed from a special rubber compound that meets Military Specifications and FAA requirements for aircraft seals. The rubber compound developed for the seal has a memory, compresses, and conforms to the sealing surface providing a perfect seal. The seal comes with pressure sensitive adhesive that makes it easy to apply and bonds well with any metal surface painted or bare. |
Reviews
This is the second time Ive bought this. The last one lasted over seven years with four years in direct sunlight (I had it tied-down). Im very pleased with the durability of this seal. The self-adhesive rubber seal is a good balance of bonding - it is a strong bond, but you can still lift and reposition it during installation without damage. The kit is complete with a small tube of Krazy glue (to glue the two ends of the rubber seal together) and a small tube of lubricant to lube the surface of the seal and improve its operation. NOTE: The instructions say to make ends of the seal join up at the bottom (this is how I did it 7 years ago). But over time I saw water could follow the join point and potentially drip to the inside. This time, I made the join at the top, so that when the window is closed there is absolutely no way water can rest against the join, preventing any potential for that occasional drip.

K2U Mooney 20 Series Vent Window Seal
Easy to install and generally good quality foam but, being installed on the fuselage and not the door itself, it is easily subject to damage. My old one lasted 15 years and was only replaced because I ran out of spare material to replace sections torn during loading/unloading baggage.

K2U Mooney 20 Series Aft Baggage Door Seal
Initially it looks and sticks ok but the foamy composition starts breaking soon. Plus anyone coming into the airplane hits it contributing to the issue. I need to replace it again...
This product is useless. It is nothing more than a foam strip with double stick tape. It will not go into the place of the original seal. With it on the airframe instead of the door it is destroyed every time someone gets in or out. Do not waste your money.
