If you have any experience with this, could use some help. I have a temporary fix but would like to get rid of the root cause.

Thanks in advance
Generally there's two problems. The rubber weather stripping, or the painters painted the edges where the doors fold. The weather stripping can be cleaned with GOOF-OFF, and the folds can be sanded with a sanding sponge. Any questions call me Len 352-446-8875 I'll be happy to take a look.
