Cab door seals.

Post by SouthEastWesty »

Hello everyone.

Sorry, stupid question time. I went to fit new seals around my cab doors then noticed one half of the rubber is harder and the other softer which I didn't notice when I removed and threw out the old ones. My instinct is that the harder side is the one that goes against the door but as I'm an idiot I thought I'd better check first.

Cheers.

oh youb got a bit of fun, as they are now sort of handed, the firmer bit goes in the door, if you look you will see 3 small holes abou 4-5 inches apart these locate or used to on 3 plastic pegs that fit down the front edge of the door, so this not orients you part way, if yopu look at the top front of the frame you will see a small screw head above the 1/4 light, well when the seal is fitted it should have left a tell tale mark from this screw head and and on the outer side a sort of V where the rubber was exposed, also thge very bottom of the seal near the step will be skanky so this should help you align it rotationaly and also l and rh
next time mark them with tape and an arrow
