Can anyone please tell me the size(diameter) of the rope gasket on the door of the Harman mark II? Mine is in bad shape but I can't seem to find out what the diameter is.

Thanks guys!!

Don't stretch it when installing it. I'd also recommend using permatex ultra-black to glue it in.

Lowes sells a kit with clear glue. It works well and it is cheap. Still on after 2 seasons.
