I have to plead ignorance on a bay. My expertise only is in post-barn doors
and pre-bays, i.e. 1955-67 busses. I just know on a splitty they are super
tight and do just what you described initially, but after sitting with the
doors closed for a while they are very good.

My 71 Westy – I think I need to adjust the door (but I don’t want too) – the
seals I pulled off were the original ones. Doesn’t look like the door has ever
been adjusted before which I’m thinking to leave it alone and let nature run
its course.

Are we talking about a splitty here? If so it is the same experience I have
had and yes they do conform after a while.

I put a new passenger door seal on NewDee yesterday and it is hard as hell to
close the door, got the door sticking out about 1/4 inch below the handle at
the top of the dogleg where the door starts to go down to the side step. –
these seals are from Wolfsburg west…
Someone mentioned to me to expect this – is this normal? Will the seal compress
any or conform better? The door kind of pops out when you open it too…..
