[DML] Re: Door seals

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Luke,
This is a very common problem, you will find that most DeLorean door seals
ar torn in this area. As Rob indicated grinding the fiberglass in that area
is one solution. 
Here are two other fixes.
Spray silicone spray in that area, if the door will open and close easily
than the seal may compress over time. You will have to spray the silicone
on a regular basis.
If that doesn't work, with a sharp razor, shave the excess rubber from that
section of the seal.

after spending an hour putting them on, I couldn't get the doors to close
properly. First, they wouldn't even close half-way, and after readjusting
them a bit, the doors would close fully, but only after applying massive
amounts of force. I let them sit for awhile, hoping that they just needed
to settle in, but that didn't work.
> I called Gradys, and they said that they have a procedure for grinding
down the edge that the seal mounts onto, but I would have to talk to Rob
about it. I've called back a few times but Rob has been to busy to explain
the procedure. So... could anybody else shed a little insight into this
procedure? Or are there any other hints for getting this to work?
