I'm pleased how well the baggage door came out but I do have a few concerns about improving its basic design a bit. To prevent water from entering, I want to install a good seal around the door's sides and thought about using something like this: http://www.trimco.info/images/Illustrations-Large/Seals-Gaskets/S2123.jpg Is there a better alternative?
Also, Van's suggests "an optional closed cell foam" may be installed underneath the hinge....how exactly do you do that? Where do you get the foam and what type adhesive (if any) is used to afix it?
Finally, the door begs for some sort of strut to hold it open...what are builders using? Is there an off-the-shelf strut I can use?
Ideas, thoughts and pictures sought, especially from -8 builders who have been there and done that.
