Any tips on fitting the sliding door seal on a t25?
I don't really want to take the door off, so it means cutting the seal at some point. Where's the best place to make the cut - I suspect at the bottom somewhere? What type of glue should I use? Any tips generally?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info re. the glue.
I meant that I will have to cut the NEW seal (which is one continuous loop at the moment) at some point, as I don't want to take the door off.
I suspect I should cut the new seal at the bottom - any advice?

Hi Dave,
Not certain that it would work, but why not just pop the rear of the door off, and slide the seal over? I imagine this would work, but can't say from experience. Best of luck!

All you need to do is undo the bottom hinge and slip it over then bolt the hinge back up.
