Good Source Aftermarket Door Seals

[n86121]

Over 25+ years I have tried everything.

What finally worked was buying 1/16th x 1/2 inch wide closed cell phone tape, found on ebay. I applied the tape to both the door frame and the door,
so when the door closes the seal forms BETWEEN the two touching, attached layers of tape.

The 1/16th allows you to build layers where needed, and not where it causes trouble.

I ran a thin piece of something (paper? String?) along the seal,
in between the two layers of touching tape, until it was held at every point.

Now I can fly the aircraft under water and it remains tight.

I have attached four photos.
The tape is neoprene 1/16th x 1/2 with one side adhesive,
'closed cell' which can be found on ebay.

Of course my photos are out by 90 degrees, ...but 'work with me people..'

Easy!

The sticky side forms a good seal with the door frame and door.
When you press the two halves together, they forma good seal with each other.

I even found an original Cessna door seal new in bag on ebay.

But this works just fine, and is easy to fix as well.

Is that an STC or field approval

I'm looking to replace the door seals on my G model with the airstair door.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

John

Edit: Added pics.

I have this on my door, not an airstair but works really good. Not sure they are still in business http://ultimatedoorseals.com/
