Any secret to getting the door gasket in? I have been pushing and pulling for over an hour and have gotten no where.

The door gasket I found is very difficult to get into the guide properly. The method I used was to pry the seal into the guide using a metal steel rule or something similar. The seal will not be at all loose once it is in the guide properly and looking from the side only a quarter of an inch should be visible. To get the seal in the guide peal it back so you can see what you are doing and prise it into the guide. I think you can be fairly rough as the seal is very strong. Hope this helps. Email me if you need further advice. I found that the window would not seal until the door seal was properly located.
