Answer: This rounded (not oval) trim piece should fit with the wider lip
under the console, narrow lip exposed.

Answer: Expect to trim the two pieces so there is a virtually perfect fit
where they meet. The front edge of the horizontal piece is where most of the
trimming will need to take place so the angled butting of the horizontal
threshold piece and the almost vertical door shut trim piece meet evenly and
accurately. Also the width of the shut pillar piece will usually need to be
carefully trimmed so there is an even dimension betwen the outer edge and
the outer painted surface. The black shut pillar piping will take up most of
this space beyond the edge of the shut pillar trim and is meant to almost
hide the raw edge of the alloy trim, so the evenness along here is critical.
The shut piping should end up just inboard of the door skin wrap over, not
being pinched in any way.
