Jeff,
Rather than using jute or a similar water absorbing type padding I used a
"closed cell" mat. The mat is the type that back packers might use under
their sleeping bag. I first read of this in "Miscellany" several years ago.
The pad is about
3/8" thick and is available in the camping section of many stores. After
trial fitting the mat to the sills I used contact cement to  attach the
Naugahide. The top is left long enough to be tacked at the top door edge.
The bottom is held in place with Velcro.
This makes it easy to open enough to clean and let dry out.

The road goes on forever...
