[C320-list] Glide tape - SECOND REQUEST

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Jack,

I have not done this (yet) as I have no interest in breaking and replacing  
a perfectly good seal until I have to (or it isn't), Therefore I have used  
Irv's technique in repacing my tape.
If you do chose to remove the hatch cover however, I suggest you attach  
the tape to the slider instead of the rails. That way it is less subject  
to damage as you climb up and down the companionway.

Regards,
Karl
