I would think that any amount of build will make it somewhat more difficult to install and an uneven surface harder to seal .

There is only 1/16" at the bottom of the rubber where it goes over the lip. There is really no reason to spray that frame around the window anyway..

That's good. It will make your glass install easier.

Chrome one is a re-pop, actually bought it for the Mercury I'm working on but the wife thought the pickup needed one too so she had ordered one and should arrive in approximately 3 weeks..

nice. a wife into old trucks. nothing wrong with that. the reason i asked is i have a import grill too. wondering how good the plating is. looks good sitting in the box, but if there's a corner to be cut, they'll find it.

One thing I did encounter was the mounting holes aren't exactly in the same place as the originals and I had to enlarge some of the holes on the air dams..
