[C320-list] Frig gaskets

[harold brown]

Plain rubbing alcohol disolved the adhesive after soaking for a little while. No problem with the plastic. Used a credit card edge to get the softened stuff up. This is my third time with the rear peice on the hinged lid so I'm getting good at it. Jim Brown

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.
