I'm getting ready to install Mikey's new rubber seals in the engine compartment. Getting the old hardened ones out took cutting and chiseling. Ug.
What's the preferred method to install the new seals into the channels? Oil it all up and slide it in? Align it and squish it in inch by inch? Other ways? Thanks. |

Thanks. I'll try the top to bottom method first. A handy tool comes to mind. HF sells a bag of 3 plastic door panel tools that won't cut into the rubber. Let u know.

Let u know. I used electricians conduit lube I had lying around and pushed them it. No problems no "shrinkage" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) You have to bend out the end tab on the sheet metal rail though. I think the screw driver method probably ok too....Mark would know. I did it that way because my engine was in. Make sure you have em in the right way...you can put them in upside down. |
