Worn out door gasket William E. • Buckingham , VA • June 06, 2016
Instructions are very dumb, but it's an easy fix.
Loosen all the nuts that hold the metal bars that hold the old gasket. (Loosen. Don't take them off!)
Pull off the old gasket.
Slip the new into place all the way around. Get the corners in position, middles can be loose.
Tighten the corners, then work the middles into place and tighten as you go.
Done.
