Not sure exactly what you mean, are the two doors together too wide for the aperture? I have to close both doors together on my Traveller, if I close the left one first then the right one just clunks against it. Slot them both together while still a couple of inches open, then push and it's fine.

I've just renewed my Traveller timber and before I put the back door seals on I could close the left door first and the right door would close after. Obviously when you glue the seals on you make the "hole" smaller, I had to pull/stretch the seals to make them thick enough for the doors to be water tight but thin enough to allow the doors to close. Like everyone else I have to close both doors together.
