I put up post #252 and I have had no feedback from it really. Maybe some people have not bothered to add their opinion or nobody cares to much. Some people complain a lot, but do nothing and expect the dealer to fix it. I think most dealers would say they expect a little rust, I tend to agree. On items like this you have to be pro-active and stop the rust before it starts or before it has gone too far
I do not have any rust, so I intend to delay the start of rust.
180, to answer your question, I don't think it matters whether there are gaps at front or back of seal..........I believe that if you sprayed water along the bottom edge of door, the moisture would still creep behind the 'seal' that is not sitting in the track very tightly. It basically is a cushion for when the door shuts and does block out some water from the door frame.
