A method of applying a double sided adhesively coated foam strip with paper backing as a gasket to a window includes winding a predetermined length on a hollow core, gripping the hollow core with a dispensing cartridge and engaging the dispensing cartridge with a carrier mounted on the end of a robot arm. The carrier includes a gear motor for driving a paper take-up wheel in the cartridge thereby separating the backing paper from the foam strip as the foam strip is applied to the window surface. The cartridge includes a pair of seal guide wheels and a pressure wheel for guiding the tape onto the surface of the window. The carrier further includes means for selectively moving a pair of gripper arms into and out of engagement with the cartridge, a gear motor for driving the paper wrap-up wheel, photocells for sensing the presence of the cartridge and microswitches for sensing engagement of the gripper arms with the cartridge from to stop the movement of the gripper arms.
