New dutch door console... fix for water getting in?

Wondering if anyone has solved this yet?  I think it gets in when water hits the face of the console like when you hit it with a high pressure nozzle or in a hard driven rain.... think the lip on the door opening can only handle so much before some spills over.   My initial thought is to find a piece of rubber weather stripping to put at the top edge of the door so when its closed the strip presses onto the console face.... thoughts?

Fin, i had the same problem with my 2500.  Home Depot sells some self-stick weather striping material that has three small channels in it.  I used that and added it to the areas where there was not enough pressure to make a seal.  Seems to have worked as the inside of the console is dry now.   I also noticed that it was coming in at the bottom, sepecially when washing the boat and spraying the cooler down.  So make sure to check that area as well....
