Hi Vanagon Types I am replacing my sliding door seal and have a quick question, in case anyone who has done this has some tips. I have the GoWesty seal and it appears to fit quite well. I found suggestions online about doing the corners first, dry fit before using glue, etc, but not how to handle the fact that it is a continuous loop. So, my question is about handling the continuous seal. It appears I either have to unbolt the slider or cut the seal. I am afraid I will create more trouble if I unbolt the slider, so I am leaning toward cutting and then gluing the seal. Does that seem right? If I cut it, is it better to have the joint toward the back, perhaps in the middle of the rear side? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Dave B Boise '85 Westy |
