REMOVING THE ORIGINAL GASKET

NOTE: Replacing the gasket requires trimming
away only the soft part of the original foamed-
in-place (FIP) gasket. Once the soft part of the
FIP gasket is removed, a channel is exposed
to install the service gasket.
To remove the original door gasket:
1. Cut the soft corner section of the FIP gas-
ket.
2. Trim the soft part of the gasket with a
knife around all four sides to expose the
channel where the service gasket will be
mounted.
