IS THERE AN EASY WAY TO FIT NEW DOOR SEALS? I'VE SPENT HOURS TRYING TO FIT IT INTO THE CHANNEL.
HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP.
Thanks

I did it a couple of weeks ago - used a blunt ended plastic scraper which I never thought I would have a use for !! Any broad - 1/2 inch or so blunt ended chisel type tool will push the exposed side of the seal onto the channel a bit at a time - change sides of the seal as you go around the corners ( as they say ...)
It isn't quick job - took me a couple of days all told, a bit at a time. But it was worth it when I had done.

I actually removed the doors from the car to make this easier. I struggled with the leading edges channel! Unfortunately 10 years on and I still need to slam the door.  I bought the seals from East Kent trim. I cut a bit of seal away from the hinges area but I still need to slam the doors. Where did you chaps procure your new seal from? Bruce |
