Replacing The Door Gasket; Replacing The Glass Or Glass Gasket; Lubricate The Door Hinge - Lopi Freedom Owner's Manual

Replacing the Door Gasket

Remove the door by opening it and lifting it off the hinges. Remove the old gasket by stripping it away
with a screwdriver or other tool (see the illustration below). Apply a line of gasket cement (available
from your dealer) in the groove that follows the perimeter of the door. Insert the gasket into the groove.
Do not stretch the gasket as you place it into the groove. Cut off any excess gasket when done. Allow 2
hours for the cement to dry. When re-installing the door, the gasket may need to be flattened by
repeatedly opening and closing the door.

Replacing the Glass or Glass Gasket

Remove the door by opening it and lifting it off the hinges. Remove the door handle from the door.
Then remove the glass retainer by unscrewing the ten screws that hold it in place with a 5/16" nutdriver
(see the illustration below). Carefully remove the glass. Make sure the 3/4" black channel tape (new or
old) runs around the perimeter of the glass. If using a new gasket, trim off any excess. Place the glass
(new or old) in place so there is a small gap between the edge of the glass and the door frame. Make
sure the gasket is tucked underneath the glass so the glass does not touch the door frame. Place the glass
retainer in place and secure it with the screws removed earlier. Make sure the white gasket stays in
place and seals the window. Tighten the glass retainer until the gaskets start to flatten.
The door gasket is 7/8" white rope gasketing
and is held in place with gasket cement.
