Question Entry Door Weather Stripping

Hi All, have a 17 Aspire 44B where the weather stripping has come off the door after getting caught in the door hold mechanism at the top. I can call Entegra but figured this was probably something I would want extra of anyhow. Can anyone take a picture of their door to show where the stripping actually goes? The best I can tell from what little residue is left on the frame is that it goes around the outside facing edge of the door at the front of the coach and the bottom edge on top above the door? It also appears as if there is some on the inside edge of the door about halfway down? I tried to put it back but it just falls off again and it isn't sealing the wind noise out anymore anyhow.

Rough measurements of the strip appears to be 3/4" by 1/8"? Anyone have a source or am I better off having Entegra send some out?

Thank you,
Joey

I just looked at my Classic and the only weather striping I have is on the screen door. The gasket on my main door is the gasket that inflates with air when the parking brake is released.

I have been working on wind noises and picked up a roll of 3/4 and 1/2 inch x 1/8 at Lowe's.

Chuck, you must have a Newell, Entegra seals don't inflate with air.

Excuse me, I should have said Air Lock that pulls the door tight against the seal, mind must have wondered to the Newell parked next to us

Anyhow back to the door seal situation, with the wind noise I have had since new, I have looked at a lot of doors on LD lot and have seen some with weather striping and some without. Not knowing why that is done, must be a door test they do at the factory, I purchased weather striping to do Rest Stop repairs until I found the right combination. Thankfully Ted Cook did the last door repairs and the weather striping was not needed. At the top of my door, I have strip of the soft loop Velcro. I don't have a clue why that is there.

The Velcro is there to keep the hold open arm from rattling, on the road, when the door is closed.

We put some rubber strips on the top of the door frame above the hold open arm to keep it from rattling on the top side. The arm is sort of wedged in there now when the door is closed and its not rattled in 14,000 miles...

That makes sense. I wouldn't have been able to hear the rattle over the wind noise anyhow. I know what to OP is going through, it will drive you nuts.
