The footman loops and one bracket have to be removed in order to lift the armor plate off the hatch. Suggest using a lift of a few extra hands on the plate to avoid damaging the hatch. After that, the seal installation is relatively straightforward.
Yeah, I'm interested in the blast shield seal covers as well. Looks like my cargo shell deck is not drilled for them. I gather this was optional on the 1151a1 or a field installation? Noticed a few 1151a1/1167's on GP that had the blast shields installed along with a few more trim pieces at...
Finished installing new seal today. Armor plate removal was a PITA. Lots of corrosion to deal with on fasteners and some base corrosion on plate and hatch.
Last pictures illustrate missing plastic trim piece on the upper LT corner of the hatch.

Q: Is adhesive indicated where the seal metal lip joins the hatch? Just got a new seal for installation. Looks like I also have to R&R one armor panel that sandwiches the upper part of the seal.
RT side molded plastic in place.
