Leaking storage doors

Just picked up my new laredo last monday. We are having some crazy weather here in MA. It has been raining for about 4 days straight with strong winds. The trailer is water tight inside but I'm having some water come in around the front storage doors. Is this normal? Is there a way to tighten the door for a better seal. I inspected around them and it looks like the seal is making good contact.

I had an issue with this and have posted a thread entittled "sealing your RV" which can be found here: http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/showthread.php?t=228 you can bend the metal lip tab inward to cause the door to seal tighter, hope this helps.

I have the same problem, Took it back to the Dealer and they worked on it. Got it back and it is 90% better but noticed there is still a little water getting in. I got some weather stripping from Lowes and put along the top and down the sides of the door and it seems to have stopped it.

Put on new weather stripping, better than what was there from a marine store. Bent in the metal to allow the door to shut tighter. Still no luck. Tested it by spraying it with the garden hose above it and letting the water run down. Just as much water go in. Driving an hour away to bring it back the dealer tomorrow.

problem solved. Dealer put a new weather strip on. I also tightened the doors and added a weather strip to the top of the door. We have had some crazy weather here in MA and it kept all the water out.
