Do you plan to carpet your trunk?

Kevin - yes, I have the trunk carpet kit but I've been putting it off until later.
The top of the door surface is anything but flat, especially at the front where it wraps into the cowl. That appears to be the only place the bottom of the side curtains actually hits the body - on the inside of the bottom plate. You can see a short piece of 1/8 inch weatherstripping I applied there for some extra protection. In the middle of the doors there is probably a good 3/8 inch gap - maybe slightly more. And then it narrows towards the back of the door and rear ferrule. I ended up using pieces of 3/8, 1/4 and 1/8 inch self-adhesive weatherstipping. I might look around and see if I can find some 3/8 to 1/2 inch soft bulb weatherstripping that may work better.
