Has anyone experienced the rubber weatherstrip around the rear door shrinking? Mine has gotten shorter at the ends and lets in dust now.

Is this a replaceable part? If not has anyone used foam weatherstrip from hardware stores as a substitute?
 
On of the first trips I took my 99' on when I got it this spring was to Mt. Baker (ski area) and we slept in it during some rather strong winds. The snow in the morning between the door and screen door informed me I needed new weather stripping. :p

I installed some of this stuff: http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware-Hardware-Fasteners-Weather-Stripping/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xh8Zard7/R-100017014/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 "Thermwell White EPDM Cellular Rubber Weatherstrip Tape D-Section" Pick a size that fits your gap. I installed it on the camper frame and let the door compress into it.
