George,

No I'm NOT talking about modifying the door or seal.  Rather it's the door f=
rame around the perimeter.  Get inside and close the door.  Using flashlight=
 examine the gap all the way around. Use a black marker pen or other device t=
o mark and write on the door frame where it is too far away and how much.  T=
hen open the door and I used tongue depressors hot glued on the outside of t=
he door seat to create a dam and a form for micro buildup.  I sanded these t=
ongue depressors to what I thought was the correct height.  Then I mixed a f=
airly thick batch of micro and applied it to the sanded and cleaned door fra=
me.  After set, I started sanding and shaping and trial fitting by gently cl=
osing the door and finding where the seal would touch the layup.  Eventually=
 I had the shape I wanted and then I laid up one BiD of carbon fiber over th=
e top held down with peel ply.  Job complete after lightly sanding the peel p=
ly surface roughness.
