Three motivational pictures of an old refrigerator.

I'm defrosting the old Westinghouse today. It's a 53
I put a new vintage door seal on it. It is mediocre at best. Any idea for a better seal?
I need something pre-bent. I soaked this one in boiling water and then installed while still hot but it still didn't like it.
Maybe something to put inside the seal to make it more substantial in the bends. A small foam stick. Like a pool noodle but the side of a straw.......

We use surgical tubing on the inside of door weatherstripping on our trucks as they age to maintain a good seal.

Round seal material is available in neoprene, which would be much better.

Just go to Steele Rubber Products. They buy out every obsolete rubber and seal extrusion die when the manufacturers no longer produce any given shape. And keep producing it. Need window seal for a 1927 Hupmobile? They got it. For a 1950’s gas ‘fridge? They got it.
