Many can be done in 30 minutes. Many take longer, some DO take an hour
or 2.
And NOT all are glued in, in large trucks, at least, it's still pretty
common to use a zipper gasket.

Yes, i had kind of spaced off the "zipper" rubber type. They are done
even quicker.



Heh. Not if you have to wire-brush and paint the metal lip before
re-installing. BTDT. Gotta get a flat smooth lip for it to remain
