I replaced my door bottom to front floor seals (MRC5740/1) a while back and I don't seem to be able to get everything lined up nice. The ones I got are from Craddocks and are a single piece of hard rubber curved with a metal strip insert rather than the more compressible foam tubes of the rest of the seal.

This means that no matter how far back I push the sills the door still sticks out and there is a gap between the other seals and the door as this bottom seal pushes it so far out. Does anyone know where I can get proper, softer bottom seals from - I'm sick of draughts round me ankles....

I don't think the softer ones would take the abuse at the bottom of the door/floor. If there's a metal strip inside, maybe you could bend it - or even remove it? I had to remove the metal from parts of a door seal once, and it did make quite a difference to flexability/compressability.
 
Its not the metal strip that's the problem but the seal rubber - instead of being made of easily squashed material it's rock hard, far harder than it needs to be and so is stopping the door shutting properly. I can't remember but I suspect the ones I have are ****part ones and I need to get some proper ones...I've ordered some genuine ones from LRSeries this aft, hopefully they will solve the problems.
