Dave, I'm not sure that you need to do this as I believe the replacement seals
need to be glued in and do not have the corresponding protrusion to fit the
channel you mention. Maybe someone else is an authority on this but if I
recall correctly when I replaced the seal on my TR4A it didn't mate up with
the channel.
Do you have the new seals? Check them to be certain.

Subject: Replacing TR4A Weatherstrip channels
List,
I am replacing the rusted out weather strip channels (Moss PN 802-060) in
my
TR4A. Does anybody have any slick way of forming this channel to fit the
door openings? No matter how I try to form these pieces, the rolled edge
wants to crimp. I thought about possibly placing a welding rod or something
in each crimp before bending to keep the channel open but haven't tried it
yet.
Waiting for ideas while the garage warms up..
Thans,
Dave
