Title: How do I remove a VF-165 door liner?
Post by: scalebowler on May 03, 2010, 11:58:41 pm
Anyone know how to remove the door liner on a vendorlator VF-165? I pulled the gasket back a little and saw these metal tab things holding the door liner on but I am not sure how to remove them without destroying the clips or what ever they are. I found the clips here. http://www.fun-tronicsllc.com/store.php?crn=243&rn=956&action=show_detail  Also while I have the door liner off how do I determine how much door gasket I need? Do I just find the perimeter of the door liner and just order the stuff by the foot from funtronics?

That's them and they just pull out of a hole. Stick a slotted screwdriver behind it and pop it out.
Unless your gasket is totally trashed, you may be able to revive it with a little cleaning and Armor-All.

Awesome that sounds easy thanks for the help. I was worried that I was going to have to buy all new ones. The gasket on the door is extremly flat. Basically right now it is just a folded over flat piece of rubber with some lines on it going around the door. I think it might be the origional.

The door gasket should look like this right? http://www.fun-tronicsllc.com/store.php?crn=227&rn=694&action=show_detail
