Door Seal--Repair or Replace

[Mark Hislop]

The door seal on my aircraft (73 P337, sn 127) is original, and has some small holes in it. These are not the factory holes, they are small cuts caused by people getting in and out of the aircraft. My mechanic has a special die and repair kit to repair the holes. However, I'm wondering if I should just replace the whole thing...it is almost 30 years old. Does anybody know about how long it takes to replace, and the approximate cost of the replacement part? Is it something I could do myself and get a sign-off?

Thanks

Mark
