Thanks, Lee
Which measurement is the height ... or the measurement that comes up
off the door? I'm guessing it's the 5/8" ... right?
I just measured the stuff that's on my truck now and the height is only
5/16" !! ... not quite enough. But I'm worried that 11/16" (Steele)
might be too high.
Sounds like the Chevy Duty rubber is 5/8" ... the best way to go, eh?
