That weatherstripping is hollow.
I shoved some of this inside the length of that. Bulked the rubber up enough so that it seals up against the door better.
'Poly-foam piping cord'. 5/32".
Basic standard issue for any upholstery shop.
Not the plastic type, nor the cotton woven stuff. 'Poly-foam'.
Comes on huge rolls of thousands & thousands of yards. A roll last me years!
For the amount that you need to do this, the price should be damn near free.
To keep it from working itself out of the w/s, I wrapped some electrical tape around the ends to give it some bulk larger than the w/s i.d., then shoved inside so that it's invisible.
Did that a couple of years ago. Works good so far.

Good idea! I'll give that a try. I do know the door is sagging a bit, so I've bought the new bushings and pins. Just need the time to work on it.
