I am basically ready to paint my baby, but REALLY don't like the door seal
arrangement

With the seals off my doors are as close to perfect as I want, and they are
ok to close,

Just a small amount of force to overcome the strut for the rear lock pin to
close and lock the

Doors, all edges align nicely with the skin of the A/C, when I put the seals
on however

The doors become VERY hard to close and cause a 3 to 5mm bulge front back
top and bottom

In the middle between hinges locks etc. I was considering cutting down the
seal I bought to relieve most

Of the pressure on the door, or removing completely and using some of the
soft draft seal stuck

To the door to take up any gap. Has anyone done anything different to
resolve this


Thanks
