Axel,
This is an easy do-it-yourself job.  I have replaced several on R-4's.  The
original replacement foam seal for the door "window" should be available
from the Leica people (possibly as a no charge item - at least it is in the
U.S.)  The foam is adhered with the equivalent of double-sided  tape.
Remove any residue of the old seal with a cotton swab and some alcohol,and
lift of the paper-like carrier that remains using tweezers. Then remove the
paper cover that protects the adhesive on the new seal and press it into
place. Your finished!
