Craig,
I had the same problem and solved it by putting the original seals only to the top and to the front and rear flanges. This eliminated the door bulge completely. On the lower flange I installed a seal that has no “ear”, that means it is slimmer and barely touches the window frame. Hope this works for you too.

Betreff: Door Seals and poor fit to Fuselage

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
