Storage compartment doors. August 24, 2009, 12:02:29 pm Yahoo Message Number: 105194My project over the next weekend is to reinstall the rubber seals that are hanging loose. I have a 1996 LD and the original rubber seals are comming loose. Is there a preferred mastic I should consider that will affix the seal back in its correct position? Also while I am at it, I would like to install the metal finger loop that will help open the compartment doors. On the new LD's and other makes there is a metal finger hold that is mounted with the lock assembly. Right now I am opening a sticky door by puting side load on the key as I am opening the door. Does anyone know where I would get the finger holds? Thanks ahead of time. Ed

I have used it for forty years with success. http://www.shop3m.com/60455029946.html?WT.mc_ev=clickthrough&WT.mc_id=shop3m-AtoZ-Super-Weatherstrip-Adhesive> Or http://tinyurl.com/nhxg2p>Finger pulls.http://store.hemlockhillrv.com/hemlock/details.php?ITEM=3700195>Larry

Mine are 3/16" X 3/8" and I purchased a roll of Trim-Lok at Camping World. It is easy to install and provides an excellent seal. The only length that size came in was 50' so I have enough for a long time. I don't remember seeing the finger holds but they are probably available where the door locks are sold.MontiMonument, CO

I dealt with mine when they were still half-way on. I used double-side tape (the foam kind, of unknown brand). I expected it might be a temporary fix, but they're still on with no separation after two (maybe even 3) years of light use.John
