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.
