It almost looks like the factory used a type of sealant/adhesive out of a tube, has anyone tried something like that?

Where is the best place buy the new seal tape to hold those on?

The carpet under my doors has been getting wet with every hard rain. It is time to reseal the water shields in the doors, and I have read various threads on it. My question is- do I have to completely remove the shields, clean them and install the new seal tape? Or have people had success just ...
