Re: [T3] Doors and seals


The passenger door scrapers weren't in that bad a condition so I
reused them and STILL had lots of troubles getting them back in
according to Bentley procedures.  The retainer clips just wouldn't
seat in the holes.   Still looking for bus rubber to replace them,
will do the cut-down and re-rivit bit when I do.  I'd never had a set
off, even in a junk yard, so I was surprised at how fragile the whole
outer assembly was.  Next time I'll try leaving the inside scraper off
until almost the last thing, should help with getting the vent frame
into position, will have to look a little closer to see if the last
retainer hole is blocked by the frame, would just be my luck.
