Finally threw some rolls of door seal into the truck and went to the field with
no idea what the result would be. The original seals were starting to look a
bit hagged and the hatches were a little too loose for sufficient service.
After removing the old factory seal and cleaning the surfaces with thinners then
trial fitting a section of double lip seal an entire side was cut and fitted,
and it was a total failure; the door would not latch. So that all got removed.
Then the single rib seal was trial fitted and looked promising, so an entire side
was done. It was a little challenging to latch the door but it met the situation
half way with an interior inspection proving viable. So the other side was
fitted and left overnight along with the aircraft baking in the sun for a day.
It settled perfectly. A light dusting of talcum powder and a bath and 181
was rolled back into the shed.
07.00 check flight with inflight cheese refreshments tomorrow and then its up for
an annual.

A51,
The original Europa seal was challenging because the door was not easy to close.
I struggled with closing until Bud told me to push the door DOWN and not IN.
He explained to just grab the door sill and door at the bottom edge were the glass
starts with one hand, at the center, and squeeze the door down against the
sill. Still a bit challenging but made a world of difference.
Chris
