Thanks for the suggestion, David.  My solution was to
remove the vendor supplied front seal, roll it up, put
it under the bench seat, and use the OEM one spliced
on to the new and improved side gasket.  Pretty much
what Chris mentioned.  This way, i feel that i get the
best of both worlds.

Just one person's experience, and still a worthwhile
upgrade (yes, an improvement over stock).
