Small side door gasket replacement

2012 Rockwood 1910
Small side door gasket.
Anyone replaced one of these, or know of an alternative?
It appears to be either cheap stuff or bad design, maybe both.
Replacement gasket is about $6.00 at the dealer 60 miles away.
I have seen 2 other Rockwood popups with this problem.
One had been torn off completely.
Thanks.

It's called a "door sweep"........just did mine on my new camper. Lesson learned, make sure the top is raised a bit before opening. To install, take door off......remove four screws on top...cut to length.....slide in place and drill the four self tapping screws. Opening up with the top down is what makes it tear on the end in a hurry.

Sort of looks like the seal at the bottom of shower doors.

Where did you find that material? On a Google search I cannot see anything like it. I found several different sizes and shapes but nothing L shaped with simular width and height size wise? Thanks

I called the place where I bought my trailer and they sent me one free of charge. The price is 4.95.... You can call House of Camping in Bridgeview, Ill. They have them in stock and they call them "door sweeps" I searched all over the net for one.....they may even be called something else.
