REFLECTOR: Door seals

[Andrew Ellzey]

Ron,

This is what I am using instead of the factory seal. This is working great for me, easy to close the door, and no air leaks. http://www.mcmaster.com/#1120a321/=qvkyzb

I have attached an old photo, showing the seal installed. It takes approximately 12' for each door on an XL. I have since replaced this seal to get rid of the gap at the bottom that is shown in this photo. 

Good luck,
