Err, you having concentration problems Dave??

"The plastic press-stud things that fix the outer trim are, I guess,
supposed to be a tight fit and hopefully won't let a significant stream
through. It's a point to watch for sure."


Given that they'll be at near the lowest point in the door frame, I'd say
their sealing would be of prime importance.

The thing is that the bottom part of the door frame will be easily sealed,
being all steel, and will have large drain holes. Now the only problems
that could arise are if the water level can rise above this part, which
really shouldn't happen. So trying to seal the entire door so it could be
filled with water seems to me unlikely as well as unnecessary.

IMHO, the reason to seal the flexible liner is more one of draughts and
possibly noise rather than to prevent water leaks.
