356C door threshold rubber length as it hits the sill?

#1 Post by lee callaghan »

I’ve got a set of Stoddards lovely “ double bubble” door seals. They will need trimming where the seal meets the door sill. The rubber is quite thick and so leaving this as long as older reproductions is more tricky - some I see have cut it a good inch from the sill and some have taken it beyond the base of the vertical so each side has a “tail”. Can anyone send me a photo of what it ought to look like? Measure twice and cut once and all that...
thanks everyone Lee

Any other opinions or photos of originals? I just completed the chrome work on my door window frames (C coupe) and will then be installing the door seals.
