The camper seals I saw at HD were fairly narrow (maybe 1/2 - 3/4" wide ?).
Whereas the flap is about 2" wide and the stock material covers the entire
flap.  Was the stuff you found in the weather-stripping section?  How wide
was it?

Or did you not cover the entire flap?  I suppose I could just run the strips
around the perimeter of each flap and allow it to overhang the edge a bit
like the stock foam...

Okay, that's kinda what I thought.  But wasn't sure since it wasn't really
"sealed" from the factory.

Thanks,
