    I understand the frustration with something like that. Would it be possible to move the weather stripping out closer to the door skin. Maybe a different material in that area, sand down the thickness, if the weather strip is oval in shape, try looking for something flat like used for panels found @ home depot.

    Just some ideas, "Weld them shut and climb in like Dick Trickle?"
    almost lost my coffee ....... very funny!!!!
    I have two brains, one is lost and the other is out looking for it

    look at the step in the jamb. there is no room for weatherstrip + thickness of door. same thing with the tr5 chevy truck. the doors never fit flush because of weatherstripping. no room .
    to use a seal on the rear of the 37 door it must be very thin . top seal wont work .
