Looking to fit new rubber door seals on the TR4... the original style
with separate fuzzy seals and rubber seals. The channels are in good
shape -- but the fitting of that hard rubber lip into them is a puzzlement.
Do I slide it in from one end -- this seems easy enough until I get to
the first sharp turn... or does one tuck one lip in and press the other
home along the entire length?
I'm using some silicone spray as a lube as it seemed less troublesome
than dishwashing soap, perhaps petroleum jelly would also be effective.
This is with the replacement seal sold by TRF. The portion that fits in
the channel being much stiffer than the rubber that forms the seal (and
possibly stiffer than the original though that's difficult to judge by
looking at a 40-year-old seal).
