I may have missed this thread.
If you talk about the front door edge seal, that is between the body and the
front edge of the front door, sticking out a little, then that is what I can
tell about.
That seal is about two feet long and fits into a channel.  One can pull it
out from the top and install it back after painting with some wd40.
Patience required.

But if its something else you guys talking about, then I'm out of it.
