[Healeys] Door seal retaining clip question

[John]

Thanks Stephen for sharing this.  I went and checked my doors and sure 
enough, the aluminum trim pieces on the inside were not mounted to cover 
the fuzzy part of the bristleflex, and I've had issues from time to time 
of them getting kicked loose.  I removed and remounted the trim pieces 
as per instructions.

You helped me fix a problem I didn't even know I had.
