Getting ready to install the door seals on the doors and I have a few thoughts and questions 



1. For those who are flying - do the Van's seals work well. Air leaks - where do they occur and are they bothersome? Is it a real problem to get the doors to fit well by installing the door seals after painting. How many CS4 rivets did you use to help with the adhesion and fitting or did you cleco to hold the seal in place? 



2. I am not real keen on using silicone sealant on the rubber door gasket.

The obvious problem is later paint adhesion. What products other than the Vans recommended silicone did you use?



3. Vans gives you 25 feet of gasket/seal and you need 24 feet (12 for each door)



4. My doors fit pretty well right now. After I put the gasket/door seal on     will it mess up my tight fit. Should I stick with the Vans seal or how has the Aircraftdoorseal.com product worked out for those who have gone that route.
