[DML] Re: door to roof seal replacement?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My suggestion to protect the torsion bar is to get a piece of PVC pipe
(I think 1/2 " was the size) cut to length and slit lengthwise. Now
place over the torsion bar and that should protect it in case you
slip. When drilling the rivets go slow and easy, the real danger is
when you "break-through", that's when you can lose control. Instead of
vacuum hose on the drill bit I suggest a piece of metal tubing cut to
the right length and slipped onto the drill.
