Passenger door conduit question.

Well, my passenger side door reassembly hit a bit of a snag. I replaced the stock door of my 1990 F-150 with a newer one from an F-250. All of the mounts matched up and I painted it. When trying to put the wiring harness into it from my older door, the conduit was too small around the grommet section. Is this normal or has the door been modified?

If the 250's door was a later year, most likely Ford determined it more expedient to have a bigger hole & made the change.

The grommet/sleeve from the donor not available?

Someone snagged the wiring harness before I bought the door. I didn't have one to compare with on hand. I'll probably just grab one when I go to the scrap yard. Thanks!
