The door seal seals the area between the inner
door panel and the tub to prevent leaks. There are
two seals one mounted onto the bottom of the
inner door panel the other pressed into a channel
and mounted around the front of the tub.
To install the tub mounted seal, first determine the
inside and outside of the seal. The extended end
on the seal goes toward the inside of the tub.

gasket and press this into the channel at the door
strike. Next take the gasket to the top corners and
press into the channel. Continue to the bottom on
either side, then work up from the bottom,
pressing the seal into the channel, working to the
center. Close door and press in place.
