Doorseal rubbers


Over time the rubber doorseals degrade, well... actually disintegrate!
To replace the door seals you will need...

  • A sharp knife
  • Super glue or contact cement
    (contact cement allows you to move the seal before it is bonded permanently)
  • Lengths of rubber profiles as pictured below

The method...
  1. Remove the existing rubber seal (keep for reference), and clean all channels
  2. Starting at the leading edge or the door at position * press seal into channel (working down and around) until you reach a join.
  3. Close the door, if it closes without slamming, glue the rubber into the channel.
    If the door does not close, stretch the rubber to make it thinner, and repeat until the door closes with a little resistance.
  4. Continue around the door with the next piece, glue each piece to the previous one.
