1967 GT 350 (Early 10/66) Trap Door Weather Strip

[DGSOH]

When 0066 was disassembled there were remnants of what looked to be adhesive backed weather strip along the vertical sides of the frame the door sits in, no evidence of same along the top. Was it typical for there to be weather strip here and if so can anyone describe it?

Thanks -

  No weatherstrip used there.  Might have been put in to reduce 1) rattles, or 2) dust.

... or 3) exhaust fumes.

That was my thought.
