Gee-Bee door seal

[67 m20F chump]

I have used Gee-Bee stuff on 3 airplanes so far and never been disappointed.   The baffles he makes fit perfectly.  I just put in door seals on my F and they went in nice.  I have been an owner for 15 years and some of the people I have been using have aged out of the business.  Gee-Bee is still in the game making quality products.  
I am a satisfied repeat customer.  Just a pirep.

@67 m20F chump pictures?  Did you use the silicone glue or another (i.e. 3M adhesive)?

I've got a baggage and cabin door set from GeeBee waiting to be installed.

Please post pictures, and the part number of the seal.

Thanks!

For sure use his glue on the seal.  I cleaned the frame with toluene and removed all old glue and seal.  Mix up the new silicone glue and put it on the frame first so it’s tacky using the brush provided in the kit.  I started in the bottom of the bag door and put glue on the seal and stuck it to the frame using clothespins and a small roller to stick it.   You don’t need a ton of glue and I was able to do both seals with one bottle of glue working quickly.  You end up notching the seal by the door striker but he sent blades for that.

 The new seal is tight in the jam but I can get the doors closed and didn’t adjust my latches.  I don’t know that the seal will compress like the old one did so I may end up adjusting the door latch at the top of the door but it does grab and lock.

I have one in a box here. Hoping to install soon. It looks Ike good material - better than the knots2u one that is failing after about 5 yrs on the plane.

I'll have to grab one.
