I need to replace the door seal on my Champ. Not sure what to order. Has anyone replaced theirs with one that works like the original. I don't want to use the foam self sticking that you can get.

Not sure about Champs, but Citabrias and Decathlons use quarter-round or half-round neoprene foam channel attached with 3M weatherstrip adhesive. It's not an F-16, tooling was loose and variable, so you might want to get samples of a few dimensions and see which fits best. Chad at the ACA sells half-round, but TBH there is nothing magical about their products. No different than what you can order from McMaster Carr, which is one of their main sources.
