My poor doors need new weather stripping big time. I assume the only way to do it is to remove the doors?

....and of course I assume the best adhesive is still:

I did mine with the doors on. A little tricky around the hinges but doable. I used black 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive from my FLAPS.

Doors on is normally the way. The key word is clean. Make sure the door jamb is clean enough to eat off of. Hurried prep is the prime cause of adhesive failure.

I read in another thread the the 3m stuff is preferrable over the gorilla glue 'cause the GG expands when it dries.

Actually to clarify matters, I was referring to 3m's 08001 in yellow which almost everyone agrees is the best. I also learned that the yellow stuff is more durable than the black counterpart.

The W/S's normally arrive in a cut length. Is the W/S formed so that you must start your new W/S in a particular location around the door?
