Hi
I notice that up near the top of my door there is a gap between the door and the frame, slight breeze getting in. I can slide a €2 coin easily into the gap. Any ideas on what I could do here? I should also mention that at the top and middle of the door the seal is fine. It's just the 3/4 mark thats bogey
Thanks

The top picture shows 2 frame keeps, 1 for a roller cam and the lower one for a hook, if you look at the roller cam on the door you should see it has a small hex hole in the middle, put an allen key into this, you should also note that there is a dot or a line on the said cam, turn the allen key till the dot or line is facing outermost.............then try the door to see if the gap has closed up
 
So I tried that advice and it worked, but just not enough. There is still a couple of mm of a gap, even though the rollers are adjusted. Should I take off the thing the roller fits into and screw it in back closer to where the door closes?

That's really all that's left, I would imagine from that your gasket has flattened enough to leave a gap.

Make sure the roller is going far enough down, some are fitted with the roller only catching by a 1/4", moving it up or down depending which way the roller moves may give you a bit more compression but if not then you'll need to move the keep in a couple off mm then fine adjust it with the roller cam and Allen key
