Abstract: A variable size door assembly for a vehicle rear opening includes a body with upper and lower portions and an inner door opening. The body is mounted on the vehicle by a hinge. The extensions can be cut off to reduce the body lower portion width whereby vehicles with rear openings of various widths can be accommodated by the door assembly. A pair of gasket subassemblies each includes a rigid gasket member with a side flange for mounting on a respective side jamb of the rear opening and a back flange extending into the rear opening from a respective side flange. Each gasket subassembly also includes a flexible gasket member mounted on a respective side edge at the body lower portion for resiliently and compressibly mating with a respective rigid gasket member. An inner door assembly is hingedly mounted on the body and includes a door for controlling ingress and egress through the inner door opening in the body.
