    So I bought the appropriate door seals that go around/under the door yet it seems there's some sort of gasket/seal for the top and/or sides of the doors that (perhaps) attaches to the body itself? Or am I missing somethinghere?

    Where did you get your seals from? Steele Rubber Products are a perfect reproduction. Perfect fit!

    I did get them from Steele. The issue is at the top part of the door(s). When closed, the doors are flush to the body all the way around but there is a 1/4in or so gap near the top left (as you're looking at the driver's door from the outside) that suggests there should be some sort of seal along the top part of the door

    I haven’t forgotten, I’ll get them tomorrow. It’s just a tad too dark for the pictures to show any details.

    I appreciate the response. You kind of answered my question. The pics are a bit dark, so do you have a manufacturer part # or perhaps a cross-section shot of the seal? I now know I'm missing them completely so I need to get them.

    I'm confused, you bought them from Steele, isn't the top seal part of the door seals? Seems like they should be complete when you purchase them... scratch

    Got it! Thanks! You'd think the top part would be but mine went around the underside of the door, along the side & ended at about window level. Looks like I'll be calling them about this!
