* Once the gap is sufficiently wide, mix up some epoxy plus micro so it isn't runny and fill in the channel in the seal as you place it around the door. Close and clamp the door to its normal shut position. Let the epoxy dry. Then remove and throw away the seal, sand, paint, and otherwise finish the interior/exterior of the lip, then install fresh seal. | * Once the gap is sufficiently wide, mix up some epoxy plus micro so it isn't runny and fill in the channel in the seal as you place it around the door.
