I am basically ready to paint my baby, but REALLY don’t like the door seal arrangement  

With the seals off my doors are as close to perfect as I want, and they are ok to close,  

Just a small amount of force to overcome the strut for the rear lock pin to close and lock the  

Doors, all edges align nicely with the skin of the A/C, when I put the seals on however  

The doors become VERY hard to close and cause a 3 to 5mm bulge front back top and bottom  

In the middle between hinges locks etc. I was considering cutting down the seal I bought to relieve most  

Of the pressure on the door, or removing completely and using some of the soft draft seal stuck  

To the door to take up any gap. Has anyone done anything different to resolve this  

   

Thanks

I had the same problem Craig – I felt the door close mechanism would break if I continued trying to lock it.

I purchased smaller section door seal from a car spares firm and I am now quite happy with the result.
