i was trying to install window weatherstrips.
they were purchased from trim parts.they are to long so to make them work they would need to be cut.is this typical
with these aftermarket pieces?

the window felts or swipe or window fuzzies.
they are a eight piece set.the ones i have are to long.
to make them work they would need about 1.5 inches cut off.

Something is very wrong than. Of all of mine, some of them needed to be trimmed by 1/4" or less. And that's because I am picky.

None of mine needed trimmed, but the ends could've been finished better.
