The doors close MUCH better than with the Precision seals I had bought, but I don't like the rubber edging of the Honda seals.

I'm going to try and slice off the outer inner "grip" of the Precision seals to help them lay closer to the door flange and see if that helps.
I hated the look of the Honda seals too. They hit the bin quickly. I found the press-on Precision seals to be tight but they broke in quickly and now my door closes nice and tight but you don’t have to slam it.

Couple spots that were really tight in the Precision seal I sliced the backside of the O part of the seal so it lays flatter. If that makes sense??
