    Yea, the front driver side flashing is a gap from the front. Rain will flow thru. My truck someone put a bit of foam in there. I decided to weather caulk that hole. I have caulked several gap areas. I am not real interested in being wet during downpours.

    A couple of notes on door installation I have found. 1) drilling the bracket mount holes. It is dangerous to free hand drill because you have to go thru the door body and be in line with all three holes, or the backing plate will not line up with the screws. My low tech solution was to buy a...

    My 1151a1 has those flashings as well. The doors seem to have some compression on the seal at that corner, but I had to monkey with the latch position to draw in the door.

    I looked at those doors but passed because the windows are typical rv windows that slide fore and aft, and you can not drop them down to have a good opening. other than that, similar price, but AL. Other than that, look as expected for x doors.

    As am I. should be here in a couple of days. I talked with a person there and he said when they paint, they first prime with interlux fiberglass primer, then DTM (direct to metal) primer, then carc. so that is what I am planning on doing. I will take some pictures of the process and report back.
