    door seals for SWB

    What is the difference between the early SWB door seals and the later ones?...beside price. The early ones are ~$180 each...ouch!

    I have heard that the later ones can be fitted...do they fit correctly and work properly? And what needs to be done?

    Cheers,
    Michael

    It seems to me the early door seals do not have an air gap inside them, that they are solid. But I've heard that the LWB type seals the doors better because of that air gap. I'm sure the later type will work, since the area that it seals did not change between SWB and LWB. Anybody else remember?

    Not sure about hollow/air gap, but the $150/side price difference sure warrents a look in-to. I cant imagine there being a huge difference in them...
