Replacing a LS bubbles walk in tub door gasket is easier than it looks. With the right tools and a few wellplaced cuts, you'll have a perfect watertight fit. Spray adhesive remover onto the gasket to help it slide more easily into the door channel. Using the spatula, gently press the gasket into the groove until it is fully seated. At the curved sections of the door, use the diagonal cutters to make four V-shaped relief cuts on the gasket where it bends around the outer edge.
Be sure to make the cuts above the gasket reach line as shown in the video. For the inner curves where the door bends inward, make straight vertical cuts. Continue applying adhesive remover and guiding the gasket into place with the spatula until you reach the end. At the end point, make a small angled cut so that the tip of the gasket slightly overlaps but is fully inserted into the groove. Hey, hey, hey.
