30-31 Roadster door question

[Panheadguy]

What closes off the area between the door and the sub rail. With my door closed I can see the ground through the gap. No other cars locally to look at.
Thanks

There is a rubber seal that slides in a channel on the bottom of the door. Got the seal from Brattons.

The repo doors I got from Brookville did not have the track to slide the seals onto. My original doors had the track.

Hello, I believe Snyders has a lower seal that fits between the door panel and door edge for the Repo or original doors that don’t have the retainer. Your right on the gap , does seem large,

The pre mid 31 had a sweep at the bottom of the door panel. The 31 had a “keeper” track for a T rubber gasket that crimped in. I can be off on the swap over dates.

I checked on my car it had the channel ,rubber missing, it is a late 31.Odd they don’t make a repo channel, probably could be bent up on a brake press.

Yes easily made but not easily installed.
I have a Lenco panel spotter that I’ve used to put them on before
They’re just so narrow it’s hard to weld them on.
Maybe pop rivets???? Don’t likee them but sometimes…..

Thanks for the replies fellas. Yes its a Brookville body. Any pictures of the seal that is offered?

Part of the problem is that there are quite a few "they"'s. Some big and well known, some obscure, and some well known for other product lines. No one catalogs every part from every vendor.


Oh, btw, we make the channels.
