Does anyone have a picture of how much material on the ends should be cut back or is the excess left in place?

Another cut to fit. You'll need more overlap than you think. This is easier the fit than you think. Bottom of gasket folds under, paint stir stick works well. New cokpit top of door trim pieces are file to fit. At least an inch longer of both ends on a pair of NOS door trim pieces I acquired.
