"I've got blisters on my fingers"
OK, so there's got to be an easier way to geth these damn top seals on (side seals). One is on and it was a bitch. I soaked the other one in soapy water and lathered up the track as well. Seemed to have the opposite effect... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) WTF over? Anybody BTDT. Any advice for Mr. Neanderfu@*? |

Just did that.
I tried the soap too, not enough. I just put one side of the rubber in the track, then CAREFULLY use a slotted screwdriver or even a popsicle stick to push the other lip into the track. Be patient, it will only take a few minutes per side. After it's in, force it as far forward as you can using a cloth to grip the seal. By moving it forward, the top will seat well on the rear surface. You want both diagonal edges to compress together. KT |
