Above my entrance door there is a slight gap where a bit of rain comes in when we are camped. This doesn't happen going down the road because the air lock pulls the door in closer. I have tried to adjust the sagging door, but no luck.
I see there is an old, hard seal/gasket in the upper sill of the doorway and I suspect that it has shrunken. Should I get an original replacement, or can I fashion something from insulation or pipe wrap from Home Depot, etc.?
Other ideas?

On my MCI the height of the door is adjusted by turning the hinge pin screw inside the dash where the upper hinge pivots. It's hard to get to. There is a locking nut on top of the hinge pin, and the height is adjusted by turning the bottom of the hinge pin. The pin itself is threaded and the hinge pivots on the thread. I would at least look and see if yours is similar.

If adjusting the door like Brian suggested doesn't help, then I'd pick up the phone and call Luke. 1-888-262-2434.

Mike -- on my MCI the top can be moved separatly from the bottom. Behind the moulding just below the door glass (both inside and out) are 6 to 8 bolt with large flat washers over tabsThe holes the bolts pass through are bigger than the bolts themselves. If all lock bolts are loose the top door half will lean in or out compared to bottom half. this also applies front to rear. There is a lot of movement intop when bolts are loose. Check behide moulding.

Larry, your bus is the same as mine. There is a further height adjustment in the hinge pivot pin. Top Tip - it needs lubrication once in a blue moon or it will seize up. I swear it would be easier to scrap a bus than fix that hinge if it seizes...

Thanks guys!
Brian, I have removed the dash cover and peered at the hinge pin you have suggested. I couldn't see a way to adjust it, but I will pull out my illustrated manual and give it a second go.
Larry, I am familiar with the six heavy bolts on the door that can be loosened and repositioned. Have done it a couple of times. Will take off the accordian cover and try again.
RJ, I hear you, man. Luke is my go-to guy!

You loosen the locking nut on the top of the pin and turn the bottom of the pin. the pin is captured in the bodywork supports, and is threaded into the large door support. When you turn the pin, the door support goes up or down. I believe clockwise from the bottom looking up lowers the doow while counter-clockwise from the bottom raises the door. It is not very intuitive.
