The rubber is from the back doors of a ‘79 Suburban (practically free at any wrecking yard!) and it slides onto the bottom of the aluminum. I squirted some weather strip adhesive in the pinch area and slid the rubber in place. I used a black sharpie to mark (I hadn’t removed the line yet) where my holes needed to be drilled, then countersunk them. I used some stainless oval head screws to hold it in place. The rubber seals up right below the door panel and it keeps out what air was sneaking around into the cab!
