Re: REFLECTOR: Door Trim Sealing

[Jack & Marilou <jr@reedergraphics.com>]

I, also, am interested in keeping the noise level as low as possible and am
concerned about the door seals.

My doors do not fit well at all and I don't know if I'm going to be
able/possible to warp them enough to fit properly. There is a difference as
much as 1/2 inch in some places.

How have others delt with this?

I'm anxious to hear about the door-lip-fill process...is it the best solution?

Thank,
Jack
