5.1.4 Replacing the Glass Gasket and/or the Glass
It is a good idea to replace the glass gasket when the door gasket is replaced. The gasket
is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. Remove the glass retaining screws (A), the clips
(B) and the metal frame (C). Lift out the glass (D) and pull off the old gasket. This is a good
time to clean the glass thoroughly.
The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section
of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side
up. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass
down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket. Peel off more of
the backing and rotate the glass and press the next section onto the gasket. Do not stretch
the gasket as you place it. Continue until you get to the start and trim the gasket to length.
Now pinch the gasket to the glass in a U shape, all around the glass. Reinstall the glass,
being careful to centre the glass carefully in the door. Do not over-tighten the screws. Note
that the two main causes of broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-
tightening of retaining screws.
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the insert if the glass
is broken. To change the glass, perform the same operation described above.
