Hi! Jim
Personally there=99s no way I=99d be cutting the thickness
of the door cill surround down to fit the rubber. If you hold the rubber
in the place and use a rubber mallet then it will go on snug and tight,
without any flox or any means of gluing into place. I arranged the joint
to be at the rear part of the door and used a piece of plastic brake
tube to interlock into each of the rubber tubes with some silicone
mastic bridging the joint.

Subject: Europa-List: Door Seal
I am finally getting close to the end. Today I took out the rubber door
seal and started to look at putting it on. There is a diagram in the
manual that shows how it fits, and it makes sense. The rubber has a
small channel that should fit the edge of the rebate. Where there is
only a single ply, this works fine. Where the door frame is two plies
thick, the rubber is not flexible enough to get on. In this case, it
would seem that the edge should be cut down to a thickness that the
rubber will go over. A Perma-Grit or die grinder would do it. Do I
understand this correctly? Also, they do not mention how to fasten the
rubber in; it would seem to me that a little FLOX would be appropriate.
Is this correct?
END IN SIGHT!
