TIA Wendy & John Cape Cod, > MA > > '85 Westy, "S-CAPE" > LiMBO members > I've not done this myself (yet), but your best bet would probably to take the entire door, with whatever gasket material remains, to a refrigeration repair supply house. Most stock several different types and sizes of generic door gasket replacement material that can be cut and fit to any size door. Be sure that the replacement gasket material matches the original in thickness and pliability as closely as possible. Another possibility would be RV equipment and/or repair places. They may have replacement gasket material specifically for RV fridges or at least be able to direct you to a source. -Wes Wes Neuenschwander Seattle, WA wesn@eskimo.com |
