weatherstriping replacement
my big job this weekend was to redo the doors and weather stripping.
I made a tool that helped a lot, it is a metal spatula that i ground to less than a half inch wide and then i gave it a sharp edge. it works perfect to fit into the channels and scrape out the old stuff. I also found that a small flathead screwdriver worked great too. I also used the tool kit from Ecklers, but these 2 tools were much more valueable.
I think it came out really good.

The tool I made was much better than anything on the market. If you dont have a grinder I could make you one.
