## Discrepancy

WHILE INSTALLING THIS FACTORY NEW SEAL IT WAS NOTED THAT THE SEAL WAS VERY TIGHT GOING AROUND THE DOOR. UPON CABIN PRESS TEST THE SEAL WILL NOT INFLATE DUE TO BEING TO TIGHT.  (2) SEAL FROM STOCK WERE TRIED WITH THE SAME AFFECT. THE LAST SEAL WAS INSTALLED AND INFLATED AS SHOULD BE. THE FACTORY NEEDS TO CHECK THERE SEALS CLOSER UPON RECEIPT FROM THERE VENDORS.
