Hi, I need to replace my R14 door rope/gasket and am having a heck of a time getting a proper seal. I have a 5/8" on it now and am still having drafting issues on top LH corner and very bottom. Dealer gave me a 7/8" gasket but that appears way too big. Anyone know better?
Thanks.
 
It pretty much HAS to be one or the other. Those are the two sizes that Regency uses in their insert/stove doors.
Try the 7/8. You may hafta put a washer or two between the latch pawl & the door frame in order to get the pawl to
secure the door tightly...
