If you already have a seal that you're replacing then you want to get a seal that's a similar size, otherwise if it's a brand new application then I recommend trying to find the depth of the gap and choosing a seal slightly taller since it will compress as you close the door.

For example, the Ramp Gate Seal Kit for Enclosed Trailer Ramp # SR55FR measures 1" tall so a gap of about 7/8" would be perfect for this application.
