Pretty easy to do...

Nice job on the flaps. I am in the process of redoing mine. Thank you for posting your tips.

I forgot to add that I had to make the staple holes in the metal brackets a little larger for the new staples. A drillbit a little larger than the original holes worked perfectly.. Just use the old seals as a template.

Get well soon Steve...this is an excellent opportunity for you to take a seat and turn Jon over to wrenching, sweating, and busting knuckles while you mentor from the sidelines

I'll be out of pocket over the next week, so I expect it to be done when I come back
