Another thing, I have seen people say to make sure the seals are flush with the car and panel….well my seals were factory original and they were definitely not flush. I glued them with the seals just slightly above (like they were from factory) and now I’m not sure if it would have been better to glue them flush…because I saw someone’s comment in the above link (post # 176) saying the tubing works as a backstop so you don’t end up with a gap…..not sure but I don’t think so…..I think the issue is my rear seal is just very slight too high so that the rubber tube doesn’t fill the gap. Getting the rear one glued even is really tough because it doesn’t have the aluminum strip inside it to keep it uniform as you go

Joe in the below video did his flush. Not sure if he ended up with gap at the rear or not
