Full Door Gaskets

[StreetRodder]

I have a '98 tj I bought new. Few miles, 3,500. I've decided to use it, and for all but one issue, it's good.
My full door rubber seals have shrunk, and the two sets I ordered, are physically too big, for the doors to close, and keep water out
Are there exact parts available that fit correctly.

Thanks, Jim

When I replaced my full door seals several years ago the new seals required the doors to be slammed to shut them fully. They settled down over a few weeks so the doors could be shut normally. I still get the odd leak through the door seals but it's rarely enough to overflow my mats.

Probably just too round from being new. Try taping them flat and forcing the door shut. They should stay squished after some time.

If you can manage to close the doors, leave them closed for a couple of days if you can. The seals will take permanent set and stay more flat. If you do this when it's hot outside it won't take as long. High temperature causes rubber to set faster!
