New rubber, dovetails, striker plates, hinges and fasteners can be purchased from the dealers. Also available are oversized pins to repair hinges.

As far as the body I would consider the Model "A" passenger car flexible but "AA" trucks not so much.
Where does the rubber go on these doors? They don't have any that I can see at present. The doors close tightly. It seems like the door oscillates in the door frame when the roads are not smooth.
