No, the gaskets are designed for easy installation without special tools or adhesive. Simply pull out the old and push in the new.
What if I can't find a perfect match in the sample pack?

Gasket doesn't fit properly.
Double-check the profile match. Ensure you have the correct sample type. Re-examine your window frame for any damage that may affect fit.

Check for other sources of drafts, such as gaps around the window frame. Ensure the window closes tightly and that the new gasket is properly compressed.
