At that time no one had the stick on seals, I wish they had since it's so difficult to glue them on. Those stick on seals use VHB tape which works really well. We use the VHB tape every day in our shop assembling aircraft interior parts.
Here's a video to show how they are glued on. I think it would be impossible to do this with the doors on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SajNpDzRTdU |
Thanks for the link. I've seen that video. Looks pretty easy with the doors off. Just don't want to take a chance with scratching or chipping the paint. I'm taking home some clay today from work to check the gap in my doors to see just how thick of rubber I need. My cab is a 49 and the doors or off a 52. No telling what I might see.
