I know the question has been asked before, but a search did not produce any answers.  What door seal works with the baggage door.  I got some from Lowes but it is too thick and McMaster doesn’t show any the right size.  Suggestions from all you flying guys?

I ended up using some that I purchased at Home Depot. I initially bought a  roll of door seal that was the gray colored foam with a rectangular cross  section. I bought the thinnest one available and it just wouldn't work because  it was to thick. 

  

 I found a different style that worked perfectly on an adjacent shelf at  Home Depot: the box is out at the hangar so I can't give you a brand/model name  right now, but it is made of extremely soft tan colored foam that  squishes flat very well. Also the cross section has 3 ridges (it kind of  looks like this: /\/\/\ ), so there isn't as much material to begin with. As far  as my passengers can tell (I've never ridden back there) it is sealed  perfectly and allows for easy opening and closing of the door.

I think I have 2 types on mine.  Some is very thin rectangular strip for

the areas with tight clearance, and some is P shaped grey foam.

It all seems to seal pretty well.  I haven't sealed along the

hinge yet, but don't notice lots of leakage either.

Thanks all, I got the Home Depot one and still had to modify it slightly, but got it to work.

To follow up on this thread, I found the name of the product I used for the baggage door seal described below. I just checked and my local Home Depot has it on the shelf next to the other weather stripping. It is made by Frost King, it's called X-treme Rubber Weather Seal (3/8" wide 1/8" thick), product number "WhiteV23W".
