I glued on closed-cell foam weatherstrip with contact
cement.  Available at the Home D*pot,etc. in various
widths and thicknesses.  Works well.  I had my box
out, but I think you can remove the door without
removing the box?  Anyone else?  I used like 1/2" x
3/16 or 1/4" thick.  Don't just use the self stick on
the strip, it won't stay.
