DON'T CUT IT!~!!no it's not over sized. it is designed that way for shrinkage over time. You have to distribute the remainder 4 inches across the length of the door seam. let me guess u went to install it like a good man that you, are and went...wft?? lol. have a starting point. and make 4 points or so of contact. Then squeeze down the areas which are up distributing the length as evenly as possible. You'll see the 4 inches will disappear like magic! shit you can some money as a side show to kids.sigpic -
figured it out lol.... took a hair drier to the bulged up 4 inches area for the past hour and it eventually shrunk to fit.
however, i must warn those who install it to expect the following:
-door's will take more effort to close until the door seal shrinks overtime. so don't adjust the striker or you'll mess up the alignment
-do not reinstall the inner door sill right away or you'll end up breaking it (ask me how I know) until about a month or so later when its finally shrunk or you'll end up breaking the plastic when you reinstall itComment
