installing cab door rubbers

[chorner]

I have seen the information on wiki about the installation but have three simple questions:-

1 Do you need to take the cab doors off to do it?

2 How easy is it to take the doors off?

3 Can contact glue be used instaead of double sided sticky tape?

Thanks

Answers as follows.....

1 No but you may make a better job of it if you do.

2 Quite simple ,just get a friend to hold the door firmly and undo all 4 hinge bolts and the check strap. It might be a good idea to try to mark some part of the hinge in the hope of getting it back in the right position.

3 Contact glue can be used but may shag the rubber if you have to make adjustments along the way....

Looked last night and relised that as i have electric mirrors and doors there is a rubber housing containing lots of cables run that run through from the body to the door as well.
Would need to take all the door panels off to disconnect these i think.
Is this another reason on my part to try and keep the doors on or am i just being lazy?
will look to use the double sided tape, sure that B&Q do it.

I can never quite see why its not possible to fit these by cutting the seal at a place less prone to water and feed it around that way, rejoining. I would imagine its lack of access at the hinge end though.
