Friends this week walked back from the door trims ...

I got a new rubber seals to make, because I do not like the rubber source here are the photos of the work ...

The new rubber bought:

As this rubber is not directly applicable, I had to make some adjustments to get to the place ...
A cut side ...

Then went to get the plate that is holding the rubber and put new staples

Here is a photo of the rubber in place, all the plates and springs are galvanized ...
