Do not worry about that gap you show after reinstalling the new seal, just go back and rework it a bit and it will close up. This happened to me when I reinstalled one of my old seals, I ended up about 1/2" short and just reinstalled it working from the seam back both directions.
I had training today and again tomorrow, so won't be able to check with the dealer until the weekend. Maybe I can send them an e-mail with the photo showing it's too short and see if one of the two would offer to order a replacement that's cut right.

Forgot to post...the dealer says the 2nd row doors on the Excursion are different than the full size 2nd row doors on F250/350 (different dimensions maybe?).
I asked when he said he didn't have any for an Excursion if a F250/350 would fit and he said the doors are different. Fronts SHOULD be the same though I would imagine. Can anyone confirm?

When I spoke with the dealer they said he wasn't coming back. No word on how long they will continue to honor the pricing from the site.

I think it would mostly depend on shipping and how long Horizon Ford keeps honoring his web site. If the site is up, they honor the pricing and shipping works, I'd say keep using it. The easiest way to make Horizon NOT continue to honor the pricing is for them to see a sudden drop in orders.
On the other side, my estimate for the parts for a V code spring swap was close on price, but Tousley beat Horizon on shipping hands down.
I personally will continue to use Horizon for small stuff that doesn't need truck shipping until I find it cheaper at Tousley.

Our forum sponsor, Riffraff Diesel, also carries a few OEM items. Mainly for the 7.3L PSD's, but you can always PM Clay (Riffraff) and ask him if he can get something for you.

Good point. But thats were mark up comes into play. Generally the fewer middle men the better. Unless clay wants to buy in bulk. Which he very well might.

To give you an idea we usually have 2-3 pallets of Ford parts come in per month.
