To effect a clean installation, it is recommended that the jamb be masked off as shown in Figure 52-l.
—CAUTIONS—
Do not pre-stretch the snubber, as this can induce cracks in the
snubber.
Make certain the leg of the snubber goes under the striker plate
for the side latch and over the striker plate for the upper latch.
(Refer to Figure 52-1.)
B. Apply adhesive to the door jamb in the area shown in Figure 52-1, View D, and to the inside
surface of the snubber.
C. Beginning at the door drain hole area, and working clockwise around the jamb, position the
snubber with the protruding leg facing outboard. Apply pressure to the snubber to remove any
entrapped air and to insure an effective bond.
—NOTE—
Do not pre-stretch the snubber, as this may induce cracks in the
snubber.
D. Allow the adhesive to cure at least 24 hours with the door left open. It is recommended that the
door be left open as long as possible to effect maximum cure age.
E. To check for proper cure, try peeling back a small local area of the snubber legs.
F. When adhesive has cured, clean any adhesive smears with a clean cloth and mineral spirits or
Toluol. Remove masking tape and reinstall windlace, sill scuff plate, and door holder.
G. To compensate for the added snubber, readjust the door latches to obtain a flush door to fuselage
fit.
H. Coat snubber with silicone after all adjustments and curing have been accomplished.
