[Mgs] Doors won't close

[Max Heim]

Thanks for the reply.

I think what you are saying is that the rubber part should not have a tubular section. It definitely does, and that seems to be the too-thick part.

The second part doesn’t seem to apply — if I could close the door, I think I would only see fuzzy, not rubber, on the inside.

I called the Moss tech line about these seals, but they haven’t yet called me back as they promised…

When you close the door, the rubber seal should not be visible inside the car.  See here: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/interior/int108b.htm
