Re: [doc] door seals



Graham,
 
I bought new seals from PJ Grady but haven't had time to install them yet.  Rob gave me a tip that I'll share with you,but I haven't been brave enough to try it myself yet.  The reason why the seals don't last very long is because they get over-compressed.  I got a good view of this while driving with the headliner off.  What happens is the door catches the gasket and pulls it sharply down while pinching/tearing/crushing it.  Rob Grady's directions were to remove approximately 1/4" of fiberglass from the lip that the gasket fits over.  This gives the gasket more room to compress without crushing or tearing.  I've studied the problem and so far agree that this is a good approach, butI'm not quite ready yet to go removing any fiberglass until I hear from some others who have tried it.
