Excellent use of brute force to solve a problem. But here, I grow more
puzzled. I just finished poking around the door with my calipers to see
if the rubber seals were too thin to close the gap between the door and
the inside of the door opening. Nope, plenty of thickness. Maybe the air
is leaking out around the rear edge of the glass. I've got new rubber
seals all 'round the glass  to put in, maybe that'll take care of it.
