[C320-list] Frig gaskets

[amshd2 at aol.com]

I just changed mine........   I ordered the new gasket from Catalina ......   I used a plastic putty knief and Goo Off to get the old glue off....  did not hurt the fiber glass...



Also recommend using Contact cement.......

I did this about a year ago and the acetone and lacquer thinner are not too friendly to the plastic. You will do most of it with a putty knife. You just need a smooth and level surface to bond to and it will stick to the glue or the plastic. The white gasket sure made a more pleasing appearance when you look it the frig.
