It is cut to length and installed pressed against the door with a vinyl bulb to create the weatherseal.\u00a0 It&#8217;s this vinyl bulb that causes the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The important thing to know is that the standard vinyl bulb that comes with this type of weatherstrip sticks to the latex enamels that most people use today. It doesn&#8217;t make any difference how long the paint dries, the vinyl bulb interacts with the latex paint (especially during warm weather), sticks to it and peels off the paint that it touches.\u00a0 It&#8217;s this vinyl bulb that causes the sticking.<\/p>\n<p>Very common problem with a simple solution. Two companies that I know of make this item with an optional silicone bulb. The silicone bulb does not stick to latex paint and as an added bonus provides a better weatherseal than the vinyl.
