DOOR SNUBBER
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF DOOR SNUBBER
Aircraft with serial numbers 28-8111021 and up have a neoprene rubber door snubber incorporated in the
cabin door jamb to improve door sealing. Installation on aircraft not equipped with the snubber is
accomplished with Kit No. 763-962V.
If the existing seal is torn or deteriorated, replace it. If seal is loose, or if bond is marginal, rebond seal
with one of the following adhesives:
1. Carboline Adhesive F-l.
2. Scotch Grip 2210.
3. Proco #6205-1.
Refer to List of Consumable Materials for vendor information.
1. Remove snubber as follows:
a. Loosen windlace retaining trim screws, roll windlace out of the way and tape. Remove sill scuff
plate.
b. Apply mineral spirits to snubber to loosen adhesive. With a plastic scraper or other appropriate
instrument, scrape off snubber while applying mineral spirits as necessary to dissolve adhesive.
c. With snubber removed, use a clean cloth and mineral spirits to remove all excess adhesive.
2. If door jamb is flaking or excessively scuffed, proceed as follows:
a. Rub down and feather finish with wet or dry emery cloth. Make sure to go over surface with fine
(400 grit) paper.
b. Wipe surface with Prep-Sol or a similar cleaner that will not leave an oily residue.
c. Prime, sand (400 grit), and paint. Allow paint to dry thoroughly before proceeding.
3. Install door snubber as follows:
—CAUTION—
Make certain windlace is rolled back and taped to completely
expose door jamb and to prevent sealant from adhering to
windlace.
a. Clean door jamb with Prep-Sol or a similar cleaner that will not leave an oily residue.
