My Cessna TU-206
had doors that leaked like a sieve. So I replaced the seals
with new seals ordered from Cessna. I wouldn’t have
minded the cost ($231 plus shipping) so much if they had worked,
but all they did was change the leakage to another location.
I still had to wear a jacket all the time due to the cold
air coming in around the door, especially at the colder altitudes.
When the engineering staff at Aircraft Door Seals told me
they were developing a new seal for the Cessna and asked if
I would like to test them on my plane, I jumped at the chance.
However, not knowing if the new seals would really work, I
was very careful in removing the Cessna seals in case I had
to put them back on.
After a few weeks of flying, the Cessna seals went into the
trash. The plane has not been this comfortable since I bought
it years ago. In fact I don’t even wear a jacket anymore
when I fly. When the folks at Aircraft Door Seals asked me
how the new seals were working out, I told them, “You
can’t have them back!”
One thing’s for sure, installing the Incredible Aircraft
Door Seal was the best thing I could have ever done to improve
the comfort of my plane.

In the process of bringing my 1967 Cessna 172H Skyhawk up
to specs, I was faced with the prospect of replacing the door
and window seals. The old rubber ones were the typical rubber
tube-type that had cracked and dried to the point that they
were both ugly and worthless. I remembered that this type
of seal had never worked all that well even when new, so I
wasn't particularly excited about going back with the OEM
seal. Then I just happened to learn about Aircraft Door Seals’
brand new approach to the problem, and I had them replace
my door, window and baggage compartment seals. I was immediately
impressed with the way they compressed to conform to the precise
shape of every surface they contacted. The seals flawlessly
assumed the contour of every curve, joint, and rivet head.
Now, when my doors and windows are closed they are sealed
... and that's that! What's more, they're very unobtrusive.
They do the job without calling attention to themselves. During
the winter, I was astounded at how much better my cabin heat
worked. My wife even complained that the cabin was too hot,
and she had never done that! For a while, I thought that the
heater had somehow started putting out more BTUs. Then it
hit me that the Incredible Aircraft Door Seal had stopped
all the drafts. I love this product, and would recommend the
seals to anyone who wants to cure a breezy cabin. Thanks a
million! You guys have really improved the comfort of my plane.

Thanks for providing an excellent product and support. I
installed your innovative door seals on my Seneca II. I previously
had factory seals, and a pump-up "tire" seal; each
was attached to the door and invariably resulted in leaky
and jammed doors. Your seals do not leak, enable the doors
to close easily, and result in a quieter ride. I am a very
satisfied customer.

My Cherokee 180 leaked like a darn sieve. I installed the
Incredible Aircraft Door Seal and took the plane to the wash
rack. NO LEAKS! Now I was pleased. So I went flying and took
some old Jepp plates and tossed them at the door near the
bottom. Previously I would have been shot down by the Eco
guys for littering! Nope—not this time. Now all my fun
is gone and I’m supposed to just sit and fly along in
a quieter warmer plane. What A drag! Thanks a bunch. - Ken
The ultimate seal is the Incredible Aircraft Door Seal, it’s
easy to install and it works — I suggest you look hard
at buying it. – K M
I went out yesterday to check and adjust the door seal. As
I suspected, you were right on. The seal had compressed and
set to some extent. I tightened the top latch adjustment 3
more turns and magic–the door closed and sealed better
than the door on an ’03 model. If anyone has questions
about the effectiveness of the new seal, either Joe or I would
be happy to give a “glowing testimonial” –
it works as advertised and then some! - Bob
I just finished the adjustment on the door yesterday with
the Incredible Aircraft Door Seal. A 100% improvement is an
understatement. This seal intuitively makes sense because
it attaches to the rigid part of the door as opposed to the
flexible door. After we got into it, we found both hinge pins
were worn and sloppy—replaced both hinge pins, installed
the seal, adjusted both latches, let it set a couple of days
and the seal took a “set”. Readjusted the upper
door latch and like magic—a perfect seal and a door
which operates like it is new. If anybody has a door seal
problem, the Incredible Aircraft Door Seal is better than
any we have tried, and it works. – Joe
I just installed the new door seal today. Man what a difference!
My door never sealed this well or shut so evenly. This is
a great product that every Piper should have. Well worth it!

I ordered mine today. Looks like a great deal! - John
I need this seal! How do I order? - Victor
