REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF DOOR SEAL SNUBBER. (Refer to Figure 52-1.)
If installed, the neoprene rubber door snubber is incorporated in the cabin door jamb to improve door
sealing. Installation on aircraft not equipped with the snubber may be accomplished per “Field Service Kit For
Improved Door Sealing” Kit No. 763 962v.
—NOTE—
Replace the existing seal if it is torn or deteriorated. If the seal is
loose or if the bond is marginal, rebond it using one of the
following adhesives:
1. 3M EC1300L (Preferred)
2. Scotchgrip 2210
3. Proco #6205-1
Refer to the list of consumable materials for vendor information.
1. Remove the snubber, proceed as follows:
A. Back off the windlace retaining trim screws, roll windlace back out of the way and tape it there.
Remove the sill scuff plate and the door holder.
B. Apply mineral spirits to the snubber to loosen the adhesive. With a plastic scraper or other
appropriate instrument, scrape off the snubber while applying mineral spirits as necessary to
dissolve the adhesive.
C. With the snubber removed, use a clean cloth and mineral spirits to removal all excess adhesive.
2. If the door jamb is flaking or excessively scuffed, proceed as follows:
A. Rub down and feather the finish with “wet or dry” emery cloth. Make sure to go over the surface
with fine (400 grit) paper.
B. Wipe the surface with “Prep-Sol” or a similar cleaner which will not leave an oily residue.
C. Prime, sand (400 grit), and paint. Allow paint to dry thoroughly before proceeding.
3. To install the door snubber, proceed as follows:
—NOTE—
Make sure that the windlace is rolled back and taped to
completely expose the door jamb and to prevent the sealant from
adhering to the windlace.
A. Clean the doorjamb using “Prep-Sol” or a similar cleaner which will not leave an oily residue.
—NOTE—
Normal “tack-time” for EC1300L is 30-45 minutes (less in a
warm area). It is preferable to install the snubber before the
adhesive tacktime so that the snubber may be manipulated into
the correct position. Should the adhesive “set” before installation
of the snubber, it may be reactivated by a clean rag moistened
with Tolnol or M.E.K
