Yes. That's exactly what's on my door...

I'll take a pic if it's light when I get home.

I hadn't actually seen anything on this topic when I made a new thread about my amazing invention, only to find that Rich had beaten me by 4 years.

Hi Scott

Thanks Scott

Ok, I have looked at both David and Scott's methods. Both look good but I have a leaning towards Scott's at this time.

Reason, if the strip is on the slider I can not hit the slider with a high pressure hose with the doors open as I might blow it off. I am also thinking it will trap debris from falling out when the door is open.

So, are there any advantages of one system over the other?

All the best,

Laurie

Do what Tombie did. Replace the existing strip with one that provides the bulb that blanks the exposed area. It's the cleanest way.

Hi Laurie,

I agree and I'm going to change mine over to Scott's setup (I ordered the trimlok yesterday) as one of the other issues I have is that when I use the slider step to get into the car - less squashing of the seat bolster as I slide over - I have to be careful not to put my size 12 on the seal and push part of it off. I haven't done it yet but I'm sure I will eventually. With the seal on the door I can put my foot up against the slider step no issues...

I looked at that but it does not come down as far as the fitted rubber, that was why I didn't mention it.

A big dearer also - well a lot dearer.

Ok - trying Scott's version.

All the best,

Laurie
