Sealing doors to keep out dust in the summer and keep the heat in , in winter. I just used 3/8" foam 1" wide with glue on one side and added black silicone adhesive sealant for extra security. I put one strip on the front door pillar of each door and one on each rear door pillar. The front seal gets compressed just a little when door is closed . The rear of the door just clears the seal when closed and leaves 1/16" gap instead of a 3/8" to 1/2" gap, greatly reducing the air flow in and out of the cab.

Fixing to do the same thing to mine. I thought I would mount the foam on the door itself that way I would not catch my feet on it and pull it off. What do you think? Any problems like that with yours?

Yea right on, I mounted the front one on the door and the rear one on the door sill. It has worked great so far. It's been on since Aug.
