Photos of hinge dams attached.  They should work equally well on ES and IV standard and P models.

Pete:

 

Do you have a picture of your door hinge dam?

 


Thanks, Bill Hogarty

George,

Put a dam across the hinge openings on the side facing the door.  The dam both provides a larger surface for the door seal to press against, and eliminates water pouring into the cabin when the seal is deflated if there is residual water in the hinge recess.  I believe the front dam can be almost full height, but the rear dam needs to be a bit lower due to interference with the hinge nuts.  I replaced the nuts for the hinge that were directly above the dam with low profile nuts to allow a higher dam.
