This worked amazingly well, a few wraps of electrical tape and a kindergartner could've shut the doors with their pinky... Of course I bought new Counterpart Door Seals to finalize my leak issue and now my doors barely close when i summon the strength of Thor! The new seals are definitely a different shape than the old rotten ones but I mean the door doesn't want to shut. About two inches before the latch reaches the striker the door is rebounding off the inner seal at the hinge.... I slammed er good and now it looks like the the top of the door isn't sitting right. Good News though, no more leak: I guess I'll just wait and see if the new seal beds in. I'll keep that door shut for a week and see how it goes.

Thanks everyone for all the help.

As always, here's a question someone is bound to know.

Does anyone know the paint colour of red in the "GMC" badge I am repainting those god dishes and want them to match the grill!

Cheers,
