Speaking of this job, I cannot get the interior piece to fit over the
bristleflex like it should. Most BJ8's I see have this piece incorrectly
(?) installed under the bristle flex. Seems that most of the AM door seal
stuff is too thick. My friend just bought a new set of door seals from a
special maker that was actually smaller and the interior aluminum piece fit
nicely over it.
