Folks,
My TR 3A has never had bottom door seals since I have owned it. I bought some from The Roadster Factory and installed one on the passenger door last night. (as a side note, TRF only sent enough clips for one door even though I ordered enough for both doors.)
Naturally, the door will not latch now. The strike plate on the door jamb is as far towards the outside of the car as it will go.
The seal is installed with the curved part toward the sill, which appears to be correct.
I helped a friend put a TR4 back together last year. As I recall, doors seals are on 3 sides of those doors. His doors would not shut either, so we ended up pulling the two doors together with a strap and letting it set for a week to compress the door seals around the perimeter.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks.
Ron
