Subject:Re: OFF with the front door?

Hi Zoltan,

Yes, those strips are screwed to the door frame, so you must remove the front door to get them off.  When I had
Billy Bones painted those strips got painted as well.  I went to a salvage yard and found another set.  That is
when I found out just how hard they are to get to.  Because it is so much work, I have not put the replacement
set on my bus.

Good luck,

Hi guys,
There is a seal that protrudes out at the front door on the later model =
van I have.  Now, that I am to paint it, I would like to remove it, but =
I don't see anything in the Bentley about it.  I understand that it =
maybe for keeping air out of the doo gap and I think it is a very good =
improvement, but it looks like, I have to remove the door to get to it.  =
Even if I manage to wrangle it out from the outside, I would not be able =
to reinstall it. =20
Any of you know this?
