In my old (1966) A-30, I simply obtained automotive "D" section weather
stripping, and attached it using the self-adhesive to the bottom of the
hatches. I replace it every 3-4 years. You need to find a fairly thin
and compressible version of this stuff. I can't swear that the insides
of the lockers are -perfectly- dry, but it's worked pretty well. Should
be easy to find at an auto parts store, or mail order from JC Whitney or
the like. Some types of weather stripping sold for houses would probably
also work.
