Hi,
I have a nice, old "D" model. The main cabin door had accumulated 50 years of
old glue and seal material. I removed the door and removed the old paint and
glue off the interior side of the door. The door has been properly repainted and
I am now ready to install the new seal.
I purchased the 2 part door seal for the older airplanes. The problem is that
the seal came without instructions. The shop manual also is mum on any suggestions
for seal replacement.
Portions of the seal material that I removed were glued to the inside edge of the
door while other areas had a ninety degree bend in the seal so that it was
attached to both the inner edge and the outer flange. I need suggestions on properly
installing the new seal. I also could use suggestions about the area
around the hinges.
Thanks for your help.

Hello Chuck,
If you receive information on the seal, perhaps you could share with the
group as that is valuable data. Thanks Stew Cochran N2032D C-35

Hi Chuck,
I replaced the door seal on my "straight 35" last year and can't remember if it
was two pieces but I think not. I've been told that the seal should be kept
intact..don't cut out for the door strike or compromise the fact that it is a
little "closed circuit inner tube". The small amount of air inside helps to make
it fit tight.
