Flo,

I've never found it to be a PITA to remove because in each situation I was
also removing the door. I only used a socket with long extension. That's it.
I added these seals to me 88 Doka in less than 10 minutes on each side as
the doors were also off. I actuallly did this in the absence any light other
than what my cellphone key pad could provide.

I do not recommend you remove them as Zoltan recommends as you need the
steel channel to hold the rubber strip.
