MAINTENANCE MANUAL
B. Although not critical. it is recommended that masking tape be applied to the doorjamb at the
borders of the area to be glued. (Refer to Figure 52-1.)
C. Apply adhesive to the door jamb and the inside surface of the snubber. It is recommended that
the snubber be installed before the adhesive becomes tacky so as to enable manipulation of the snubber.
D. Position the snubber with the protruding leg facing outboard beginning at the door drain area
and working progressively around the jamb applying pressure to remove any trapped air and insure a proper
bond. DO NOT prestretch the snubber as this may cause cracks.
E. Wait for at least one day for the bond to cure. DO NOT allow the door to close. The bond will
cure more efficiently with the door left open and a maximum cure age will be effected.
F. To check for proper cure try peeling back a small local area of the snubber leg.
G. With the adhesive properly cured, remove the masking tape and clean offexcess adhesive smears
using mineral spirits or toluol. Install scuff plates and windlacing. If the snubber for the aft cabin door has been
installed, cut snubber as shown in Figure 52-1.
H. Check that doors close properly and readjust as necessary to achieve a flush fit. Latching effort
must not have increased.
1. With all hardware and plates reinstalled, coat snubbers with silicone.
