Barn Door Gasket/Weather stripping replacement

[AnniesSS]

Hey guys.... Not a frequent poster, however, these forums have been helpful many times.... but I need some help.

I bought new gaskets/weather stripping for my barn doors and for the top of the doors on the body. These seem to all have glue holding them on, along with the push pins/clips. What did you use to remove this glue before reinstalling the new gaskets? Trying to get some info before I just into this project.

Thanks for your help!

Just went through the same process with my tailgate version.

I personally got the old weather stripping off (not fun brittle broke off in small pieces), but found much of the glue/sealer under the gasket was still very sticky even after 30 years. On mine, I just scraped off the stuff that was no longer sticky leaving the good stuff still in place to help seal the new gasket along with the sealant I was using.

Figured, why remove something sticky when I'm just going to turn around and put something sticky right back on?

Enjoy

What weather stripping did you buy? did it fit? I tried a set from Steele Rubber and it was a 3rd party item adn so stiff my doors would not close?
