Hi folks...Well, we strayed away from Van's game plan and are paying for it again. We decided to go with different door seals. Payed 200 bucks for 25 feet of the stuff and discovered the doors would not shut. Embarassed We were concerned with the quality of the provided seals but mostly the color ( dark cream to tan?) was not a good match for the interior. We were hoping for something gray or black. Van's door seals measured 1/2" diameter and about 1/16" thick. The stuff we bought was 5/8" diam. and about 1/8" thick.

Bone head play I know. Anyone know where we can get something comparable in size to Van's seal but in a different color? Need something to cover all that nice, yellow hard glue decorating the edge of our fabric covered doors
Confused
Thanks...
I attached a picture of the seals we used

The doors are a real bummer in general, make sure they fit well before the
seals than these should make it much easier for you as I believe they form
fit to the doors. http://www.aviationtechproducts.com/html/accessories.html
(look for RV-10 door seals)
I used the Vans seals so I can't speak for quality or how well they work.
Best of success with this.

Hi Walt C

Have you looked into what Deems used for door seals? I followed his lead and have been very happy with the results. Here is a link to my experience with them http://www.aviationstop.com/search/label/Doors
