Door seals

Does anyone have a vendor that sells door seals that fit our doors? The original one on mine doesn’t even touch the cab and the one I bought to replace it is the same size.

Thanks!

....adjust the door fit and gaps without the new or old seal in place. After you glue on the new rubber it should take time to compress and allow the door to close. I used a ratchet strap between each door to slowly compress the seal and close the doors.

Apparently, Steele Rubber Products sells quality rubber, but I wouldn’t know. They’re really expensive.

I’ve also used Steele’s products. As good as, if not better, than what Carpenter is now putting out, at a much dearer price.

+1 on adjusting the doors first, for proper gaps all the way around.
