Lar,

 

I am not sure that I put this out there before.  Here is a P/N from McMaster
car.  My feeling is this stuff likely in combination with the kit door seal
has good potential for further testing.  

First http://www.mcmaster.com/       the search on PN 9369k64   It looks
like it could be similar to that non inflatable product you showed us that
avtec is selling.  In the McM website they explain the properties of all the
sealing materials that they sell.  My first go at this I bought the
narrowest strips 3/8ths out of concern for the total compressibility I would
have to overcome to get the door closed, but I found it compresses real
nice.  

 

I am going to order the wider strips for my next shot at a water tight seal
for the doors.  .except the only shots I am doing for the next 3 weeks will
be brandy going into the egg nog.  This can wait until January.

 

Terry
