Hi,

Is any of you know someone at 914rubber ? I tried to contact them many times, by phone and email and I did not received any feedback.

One item was missing in my order and another one is not the right one.

Side question, what glue do you use for the rubber ?

thanks,

Vincent

Might help to tell us what rubber piece you want to glue. Not sure what piece would even require gluing.

He does have employees now so they should be able to respond in a reasonable time frame. There was a 914rubber hotline number to call. His go to guy is Blake.

Hey, just saw the thread, we were pretty busy Thursday and Friday doing another run of bumper tops. I did review all the messages and had to return a few calls, but I didn't see an international number logged. You will have to leave a message for us to return a call as hang ups are not logged.

To make sure you were calling the 855-914-GUYS (4897)? As anyone in the office can access the messages to get you a call back.

Yes, always happy to make things right. Tried to look you up as Vincent is not what I consider a more common name, but in the last 60 days I've had 3 people names Vincent that have made purchases. Last name start with C,D,or N?

Either way you can PM me with the issue and I can easily get resolved.

As far as the glue question goes, depends on what you are gluing. For the most part superglue will work if you can get a clean surface. It gets more exotic from there.

I have many rubber to install. The one around the front hood, behind the rear window, inside the rear hood and the more complicated one... the vertical one beside the windows (there is no more rail there).

I need something that will stick vertically from the paint to the rubber.

I'd recommend trying to find that metal channel for the side seal in the classifieds. I don't know that glue will hold it, or that it'll seal to the window properly without it.
And please please please do not glue in the front trunk seal. It's a guaranteed way to get the front drain channels to rust as water won't be able to drain out of it. The 914rubber front trunk seal fits so perfectly and snugly (way better than the original Porsche seal) that you don't need to glue it anyway.

3M makes a weatherstrip adheasive that stays tacky, I'd recommend using it sparsely if you must.

No kidding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I may buy another 914 so I have a car to put all the "bonus parts" he's sent me over the years!

[email]I spoke with Scott at 855-914-4897. Great price and service on the front trunk rubber. Easy to install with good fit and will require only a little bit of Permatex in a few places. No need to goop it all.

Have you a line on a rear trunk lock? I removed and cleaned mine ant then installed it incorrectly and it is not going to open. Will need to drill and replace. Any ideas?

Oh yes. 914 rubber has always made my orders right. Years ago I orders a carpet kit that arrived with a few missing pieces. They made it right plus much more. Great company/vendor.

Preferred method is the 855-914-GUYS number as Scott usually picks up, but if not messages are logged and we do follow up..

Not just me then. I sent emails that were ignored time and again. After i discovered they return calls when messages left, i didn't get called back.

Had to chase mark/mike on here. Eventually sorted and received my order after 7/8 weeks. Couple of low quality low use "freebies" thrown in.

Not very good to deal with and wouldn't go back there again.
