The doors had to come off the car when the wood was sanded and re-varnished so certain pieces could be replaced, new seals have been put on the doors as the old ones were a bit tired, however the right hand door wont close properly and appears to be sitting lower than before, could this be to do with the seals? or the hinges maybe?

Im a bit bemused with this one

What do you mean by certain pieces had to be replaced ?
The new rubber will probably take a little while to settle in as for the hinges it depends on the holes as sometimes they are worn and not as round as they could be which will affect positioning also did you take the hinges apart as they do have a certain amount of adjustment in them.

When I first had the traveller I bought some new hinge pins because the old ones were bent. Suprise I had to bend the new ones to get the doors to fit!!

Yeah the hinges were taken apart, the rubbers dont seem to be getting in the way so I guess its down to the hinges/holes

I know it might sound silly but did you keep the pins etc with the hinge they actually came from and put the hings back in the same postion they came from.

Doors are OK now , bit of hinge adjustment and force against the new seals and all is well, still leaks a bit though
