Improving Door Seals?
Happy Monday morning all!
I'm heading out hunting next week, into one of the dustiest areas known to man.
Even light gravel road travel results in tonnes of dust coming through my door seals and pouring in around the doors and even the door handles. The weather stripping is basically new, but even water and mud seem to be able to pass by and coat the inside of the doors. I can't imagine the mess I'll have after 3 days of driving through dry stubble fields and sand hills.
Anyone have any ideas of how to prevent this? Maybe at least limit the damage a little?
I read a post a long time ago about using door-ease on the weather stripping to eliminate the squeeking. I did this. Could that be my problem?
Doors are closing tight, and I'm pretty sure they're properly adjusted.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Drive faster?
Honestly, I drove out to our new place yesterday- the gravel road was bone dry and lots of dust was kicked up over the 2 mile drive. Nothing entered the cab. I'd crawl around and double-check that the seals are really making contact with the door frame.
