[DML] Re: Upper door seals

["Stian Birkeland" <delorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just a note on the rivets - make sure you use stainless steel rivets 
as aluminum ones *can* corrode.

Also, you are supposed to take the T-panel off in order to get the 
seals out + mounting bracket. It's much more easier to get everything 
back in too.

I hope you removed or at least covered your torsion bars so your 
drill didn't scratch them.

I did it and managed to take the rivit heads off, then to take the 
seal out, i had to bend and twist it out. How am i suspposed to put a 
new one on with the door on. THe old piece looks like a "Z" once it 
came off. I still have to take the rest of the rivits out too.
