Default Door Seals rant
Just a small one, but to the person that thought it would be a good idea to use industrial strength GLUE to hold the door seals in on a 1991 S4.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you bastard.

I just noticed my driver's side seal has a small tear.

I hope I don't find the same adhesive used when I replace mine.

That is how this started, small tear, get new seal and what should have been a 20 minute install has turned in to an hour of uninstalling glue and crap.

Default HOW TO UNGLUE IT.
Just use fire on it and the old seal would evaporated into thin air, and while you at it you can roast a few marsmallows too.
