Question: 
Fitting the Sealing Profiles made of TPE requires considerable force to be applied. What points are to be taken into consideration here?

Answer: 
Crucial assembly instructions for all Sealing Profiles: The instructions apply to all rubber /elastomer profiles that are pressed into the Groove. Never attempt to fit without lubrication. This might even be water applied to the seal just before it is pressed into the groove. The effect is even better if some washing-up liquid is added - this improves lubrication. Otherwise, there is a risk of the locking lip of the Profile not clicking into place under the inner edge of the Groove, and this will result in the Profiles slipping out later due to the stresses in the material.
