It's been over two years since my bus was together & I've since broke my phone that had a lot of my "before" (assembly type stuff) pictures. I can't recall how a detail looked & not finding the answer through searching.

When reassembling, I thought it was kinda weird the screw for the cab door window latch plate was going to poke the felt channel. I then noticed the parts manual shows that part of the felt as having been removed (under the latch plate... barndoor version too). See no. 63 in pic.

Does anyone know if the felt was trimmed either... just to the inside of the center felt rib... or right down in the corner (near where the latch channel affixes)?

Thanks,
e
