The only reason we didn't press charges is because the... -
Yep, another good point. I do that as well, but forgot to mention it. I'm glad you live by the quote in your signature.

Only thing that has worked for me is a flat-head screwdriver. All our doors are crimped on both ends and some are crimped on both ends AND on both sides of the channel. Fun fun. I also use a door latch to pry the channel open slightly if the new seal doesn't slide in smoothly.Leave a comment:

Good point, and I will add: ALWAYS show the customer the unit, no matter how much of a hurry they are (or pretend to be) or how many times they've said they've stored before.

Thank you those of you who also shared your stories. He's definitely not the first jerk I've dealt with in 14 years in the business and I'm sure won't be the last. Probably the most notable of 2018 though
