i just replaced mine a few mounth back had all the for mentioned problems, as well as a fit that seemed to be a bit to much toward the door. when i closed the door it pushed on the kick panel causing it to flex or bulge out. tried every thing to get it to slip back some more but nothing would help. now it has a small curve in it, the door closes with no interference but still touches the panel. this has rubbed the paint off of it. so i'm have to look at a black strip now. plans are to remove again, cut all of the duct off the back repaint reinstall, and hope for the best. tim
