built a  flange on to the fuselage for drain reasons all around the  carnard
opening.  Then I put a some wx strip type foam on the flange  for water
control.  I put in a tolerance for the foam before I set the  hinge, but the
even a small excess and even w/ foam...can exert a fair  amount of pressure.
I had to sit on the cover while someone else worked the  pin.



Have you tried removing the weather strip and use silicone instead?   Lay a 
bead (thickness depends upon gap to fill) then cover the uncured silicone  
using plastic wrap strips as a release agent.  Put cover back in place and  
install pins, let cure.  Once cured, remove cover, peal off wrap leaving a  silicone 
gasket that fits.
