Need help with weatherstripping

The OEM seals are cut at v shape between the seals in one spot.

Unless your seals have extra material I would not cut them with the v. It is probably better for water tightness, but would be hard to reproduce

I had two seal kits before I installed one set. As I recall one set had a hard / dense seal And the other set had both seals the same hard / denseness.

I went with the kit where both were the same, don't know if it was a good idea or not.
