I seem to recall that the original factory ones that were in my door either bowed out a little, or they were thing enough that the flexed.

Unlike VB which always seemed to have it wrong. This is from rubber, to clips to carpet. On the back of Rick's catalog (at least years ago), he showed the difference between his headlight bucket gasket versus the other ones out there. There was a huge difference. Yes, his price was a little higher. But it was worth it.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jun 23, 2020 at 11:16 AM Gary <<a href="mailto:garywinblad@comcast.net">garywinblad@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">In 1979 I restored my interior and made new<div>door cards.
