Does running the straps through the door openings cause any leaks when the doors are shut?

We didn't run them through the doors. We attached them to the side rails on top of our car.

There is a plastic flexible seal that slides on the edge of the door. So it covers the 1/4 inch or so clearance between the door and the wall. No water leakage. I love the door, is heavy and looks real good.

As long as the rubber stopper is in place and the latch is locked, this bottle has not yet had any leaking issues. On the other hand, if you put in iced beverages, you might worry about the condensation on the outside.

Yes, it has a little toggle switch that opens or closes it. The seal is very effective too, I have never had a leak.

Yes, there is a round foam anchor that you hang over the top of the the door that when shoot will not give way. It also will stay put when not in use and the door is open do to the foamed anchor and the weight of the straps (which is light weight) holding it down.

Hi K., Mine has a lot of play too when the door is closed & locked. I think it is part of the design, and cannot be remediated. I believe that it is fine against a fire or theft. However, I think that there a risk a the docs getting wet in case of a flood. Have not tried this hypothesis though. I kept mine. (Did not return it.) Cheers Cam

nope! my kids have been taking them to school in their bookbags and tossing them in the car and AS LONG AS THEY ARE LATCHED, they don't leak AT ALL!

I ran the straps through the car with the doors open and not through the window. The doors closed just fine.

I haven't had any issues with doors opening and closing... If the door flaps are rolled up tightly the doors are clear to open and close wt latch:)

I haven't had problems opening or closing. Id say as long as the door latches its secure but it can be adjusted to your liking

I use mine at my coast house to clean my deck. I've never experienced any leaks, but I don't use it often.

No, it doesn't seem to leak at all around any of the connections. I really like it.

No, they are open around the anchor but they are only going to let water under pressure. I was in a heavy rain and very little water got in but when I went through the car wash there was a lot more.

Make sure loose ends are wrapped up and secured. The tighter the straps, the less wind noise resulting from movement and vibration. Mine is used with a roof rack so I don't know how to deal with the door problem.

I have not had any problems with leaks on the connections. They have worked great for me.

As best as I can tell, no. I tested with a small amount of water and it didn't leak through.

I have not had any problems with my door rack. The door closes perfectly and my items hang on the door lovely.
