The disclosed embodiments relate to an aircraft having an interior door with a compressible header. Accordingly to non-limiting embodiments, a slideable door panel includes an opening in a top portion thereof to receive a compressible header configured to reside in the opening of the slideable door panel. The compressible header includes a biasing mechanism configured to upwardly bias the compressible header against the headliner when closed. The compressible header is also configured to allow lateral movement of the compressible header within the opening. The compressibility of the compressible header and lateral movement resist the formation of gaps between the compressible header and the headliner during flight.
