Got a question. I set my doors to be as flush to the mating body panels as I could get them anticipating the need for weather stripping. I purchased the type from McMaster Carr that has been suggested on the forum.
In mounting the seal, I would have preferred to mount to the door versus the body. However, if mounted to the door, there is no water channel on the body to divert water if the car is wet and you open the door. I have also found the door closes so tight it is hard to get the bear claw to release, like the seal is too large and putting too much pressure on the door.
What is the general consensus on the best configuration to seal the doors? Seals on the body or door? What about a water channel if it’s installed on the door?
Suggestions?
