Glad you found it. Did you find the smaller stuff too? I think the trick is using both weatherstrips together. Can you take your doors off to install the weatherstrip? It makes this job much easier!! I didnt want to take mine off because they were lined up perfectly but I ended up taking them off anyway. It wasnt hard to re align them after. Before removing the doors, I drill a 1/4 inch hole through the door and hinge. Then when reinstalling the door, line up the 1/4 inch hole, slide a bolt in and then tighten your door bolts. This will get your door very close to where it was. You may still need to fine tune it a bit but should be close to where it was
