: I did it after, easy you have this hatch sitting on the bench in
: front of you :)

: Bill H.

Well, I have waited patiently for someone to ask this question but I guess I am going to have to. I have read a lot of posts concerning hatch seals and I am not understanding them. I have read and reread Mr. Schades books and I am either missing it or he isn't covering foam seal installation.

I don't really need a long detailed discussion here as I may be the only person on the planet that isn't understanding this. What I would really appreciate is some direction towards builders web sites that cover this in photo's and descriptions. That should educate me enough that I could ask intelligent questions.
Thank you very much:)
