2. Clean any trace of adhesive from the door by rubbing with a clean cloth. (Figure 1)

5. Apply a 1 mm (1/32") bead of the adhesive directly to the door surface. (Figure 2)
a. If ambient temperature falls below 10 °C (50 °F), apply heat of 25 °C (77 °F) to the door surface.
b. Allow adhesive to set for 5 minutes.
6. Secure the weatherstrip onto the door and apply pressure for at least one minute to obtain complete adhesion.
7. Clean off any excessive adhesive from the door frame or weather strip.
8. Roll a clean shop towel. (Figure 3)
