Entry door weather seal

[Don Bradner]

A final report on the door weatherseal:

After putting a new bushing (bought locally, but this is the same Help 38424:

striker bolt and moving the bolt as far inward as possible while still getting a
good, relatively easy, latch, the

weatherstrip used on the long edge pulled in tight enough to make a good seal.

I was not satisfied with the seal at the top or bottom, so I salvaged enough
good pieces of the original to do both. A complete piece taken from the long
edge for the top, and a single-splice piece for the bottom. The original
adhesive was double-sided foam tape, which was not difficult to remove from the
rubber and then use a new piece of the same.

I did not contact any of the old-line Wanderlodge dealers to see if they have
any of the original seal or not. Someone suggested that Holland in San Diego
might, and Stephen Birtles thought Bleakley might. If anyone does find some
there are are probably several here who would like to know who, and how much it
cost.

line drawing. http://www.arcatapet.net/image/weatherstrip.jpg
