Well, Finally got the chore of the new rubber done! Spent a fair amount of time getting the old black weatherstripping adhesive off. Used Goo-Gone, worked but slow, but it didn't take off the paint,

The new Steele rubber was a little tight even in 80+ degree weather, had to force it down on the "curves" and low spots to make the contours and stick to the adhesive, could've used an extra person to work from opposite ends. Still need a bit of adjusting of the different latches, but doors halves close without any rattling. I'll post some pictures.
