Thank you, Barry.  I remember reading about your innovative repair to the door.  So, next time will you be putting in a residential style refrigerator?

George,

Just curious.  Did you try the dollar bill test along your new gasket?

Brett,
 
I forgot all about that.  Next time I have a spare dollar I will give it a try and let you know.

George,

If you don't have a dollar, you could just use one of your 20s or 100s. I expect the thickness and texture are the same.  ;)

I'm in Nac.  I have no spare currency of any denomination.  Maybe I can borrow one from James Stallings.  The factory takes money and does not give it back.  Same for MOT.  It could be a while before I do the test.

UPDATE

After failing the dollar bill test, I decided to add a strip of the same gasket material to the opposite side of the box.  Now both pieces press against each other and hold my dollar bill so tight I thought Peter was inside.

George!!! Once again I have the answer for you----SHOE GOO !!    I repaired the door seal on our old class C with the aforementioned SHOE GOO after trying silicon seal that ended up not holding the seal together. The SHOE GOO and small diameter nylon rope repositioned the door seal on my old truck and eliminated the wind noise and rain leaks.
The stuff holds different materials together that some of the so-called all purpose glues don't.

George,
I resemble that remark.  I've been tied up answering questions from the Fed's...something about using counterfeit Xerox copied bills to check RV refrigerator gaskets.    :-X
