Door Gasket

Has anyone ever done a door gasket/seal on the entry door 98-99 U295/320. I know the door is heavy and has just short of a box of screws that hold it on. I have a jack to handle the door, the gasket looks like it is held in place with a rubber spline.

Here is a youtube 6 minute video on how to redo a Foretravel door.

Different year, but maybe some info to help, and some same steps to replace the old hinge.

Nice video.  I didn't find the door heavy enough to be a problem removing it by myself,  two guys can definitely do it without strain.  There are a lot of adjustment possibilities built into the hinge/door mounting.
