[DML] Re: Door seals

[magriese@xxxx]

I replaced the seals on my car last summer. Make sure you have the
seals installed correctly - the little thin portion should be on the outside
of the door opening. It also helps let the car sit out in the sun on a warm
day with the doors closed to soften the seals and get them to take
a set.. As the seals break in, the doors will get easier to close.

Subject: [DML] Door seals





I recently purchased a set of new inner door seals from PJ Grady, and after
spending an hour putting them on, I couldn't get the doors to close properly.
First, they wouldn't even close half-way, and after readjusting them a bit, the
doors would close fully, but only after applying massive amounts of force. I
let them sit for awhile, hoping that they just needed to settle in, but that
didn't work.
I called Gradys, and they said that they have a procedure for grinding down
the edge that the seal mounts onto, but I would have to talk to Rob about it.
I've called back a few times but Rob has been to busy to explain the procedure.
So... could anybody else shed a little insight into this procedure? Or are
there any other hints for getting this to work?

TIA,
Luke
