LOW A D,

I tried the SoftSeal door seals Last week on my 49 and it was way to thick for my doors. I checked the gaps in my doors with clay and some area's were as tight as .135". Looks like what you have done may work for me. I did a search on Amazon for the sizes you mentioned but one roll is only 26 feet which I'm not sure will be enough. If I recall SoftSeal sent two strips which measure 15' 7" each and I use 13' 4 1/2" on each door. I found this one but not sure the 160" will be enough. Do you have a link to what you bought? Thanks.
