Cajun Bandit Door does not seal well?

[Sammy John]

right side top from the latch to the right edge I have a gap, even with the gasket. I'm real scared to try and bend it, also don't want to make it worse.

Suggestions please!

I just got the compression latch in the mail to put on my CB door.

Email CB and see what they say. I wouldn't be too scared about 'bear-hugging' the door trying to get a bit additional curvature. Especially if the latch hits before the 2 outside corners. If I remember correctly, I do believe I gave my door a squeeze when I was installing/test fitting.

They do need a little massage. Don't be scared, just go easy and you will be just fine.
I had to massage my doors a little , now they seal just fine with no gasket at all.

If you can't bend it into place by hand call him and ask for another. It's a piece of rolled metal, no reason to be scared.

Still have the band clamp on now. Thought I would let it set for 24 hours. We will see!
