kinda off topic but, but if you need to replace your s2000 seats it will cost you 8000-9000 to replace it at honda-dealership!!


back to topic, "Your best bet is to replace it, however, I will share with you a method I have used for years to repair weatherseals and leaky doors, trunks, and moonroofs. You will need Black RTV silicone, methyl alcohol(safer) or laquer thinner(don't drip on paint ) , Saran wrap, Chapstick. Clean the surface of the leaking gasket with alcohol twice to be sure it is clean and degreased. Apply silicone to the area that leaks. How much is dependent on the particular problem. Be very neat and even with your bead. cover the silicone with Saran wrap and close whatever it is you are sealing. On a window I would cover the window in Saran, run Chapstick along the top of the window, and roll it up. Remove the excess that sqeezes out unless it is on an unexposed surface. Leave it overnight or longer if it is very cold before you remove the Saran. By the way, Epoxy and other glues will not stick to something coated in chapstick in case you needed to first glue something down and then repeat the procedure with RTV to form the seal. This may not work for your problem at all. I don't know exactly what it looks like. Years ago I had a 79 Grand Prix that I rebuilt the door seal on this way. Those long doors didn't have a window chanel and the door seal looked like fringes. This method works EXTREMELY well on trunk seals and leaking moonroofs."
