My dryer started losing the front seal and then "ate" a jacket and towel. I ordered the replacement seal and glue and now am at a loss as to how to replace it. I thought I had the manual but I don't. There is no rub and there has been no other damage after a lot of dryer loads. There is also about a 6" area that still has the seal. Do you think the dryer was the culprit in the eating of the jacket and how important is the seal? I'm pretty handy-if I have some directions!!-but I don't want to start this if I run the risk of unbalancing the dryer, belts etc.

Thanks!
