BJ8 Interior Trim

I was hoping that I could get some viewpoints for these questions. Attached photos.

1. There is no Furflex termination on the hinge edge of the door, and I was wondering whether a P shaped tip might be it - item 90 in some diagrams. Also, what adhesive would work best?

2. Below the sill at the front of the driver's door, the gap seems too wide. Are there any suggestions for this?

Thanks,
Dave

1. Photo attached. Note that the rubber under the windscreen should continue under the wing.
2. Sorry, there should not be a gap. Maybe you could ask an auto upholstery shop if they can do something about it.
If you have a spare piece of red vinyl, you could remove the panel and glue it to that door area. Sort of a band aid fix. Put the door panel back on. At lease you wouldn't see black in that area anymore.

Thanks once again! This is very helpful. And clever.

See that little puncture? Am I starting to drift into OCD now? I am not a concours type.

There is not another 3000 within 100 miles of here, so it is a real joy to see what details are normal.

All the best,

Dave

Thanks. Where do I find it?

Top right corner of the web page, just to the right of your user id is an envelope. You should find it there (conversations).

Thanks, Bob. It had said "No recent conversations."
