[DML] Re: door seal

[chrisau79@xxxxxxxxx]

Before you do anything silly, like adjusting your latch pins, did 
the door line up with the panels adjacent to it with the old seal in 
place? If so DO NOT adjust anything. The new seal just needs to get 
used to being in place. Coat it with something like "back to black" 
or "armor all". These will act as a lubricant and allow the door, 
while still harder than it was, to close.
