Reading these comments about new rubber seals prompts me to relate my  
experience with TR4 doors.

I put new door seals (original type in the channel) on and couldn't  
get the doors to close. Having done a lot of welding I was afraid it  
was my mistake. I purchased new door seals from the other major  
vendor and they were slightly smaller and softer. Doors closed  
normally. I don't remember which vendor had the good seals and the  
bad but it doesn't make much difference because I had exactly the  
same problem with the trunk seal but the source of the good and bad  
trunk seals was now switched.
