So far I haven't had any water leaks around my doors while going threw water. But, I noticed that the 2 ends of the seal meet at the bottom of the door. It seems that you would want that spot moved to the top or at least higher up. Anyone ever replace their seals? Could the seals be rotated so that the ends meet higher? Are there better after market seals?

Seems like it can be shifted.May help to keep it in the sun for a day to take some of the shape out of it.
Definately helps to keep them lubricated with dressing.
Doubt there are better door seals.Get what you pay for item for sure.
Ever thought of positive pressure? :shock: :idea:

yep, the best spot for the joint is at the bottom. Less likely to leak from water coming from above (rain). But as for fjording (water coming from below) probably not. Just carry a coffee can and bail as you go. :lol:
