What happens here

Similar to step 4, use either the old weatherstrip from the second side as a template or accurately measure the length of the door jamb. Note that older weatherstrips might be narrower, so ensure the replacement is consistent with the new style used on the first side. First, pre-cut the flexible rubber portion with a utility knife, then use a circular saw to cut the rigid plastic/vinyl base to the marked length.

Goal: Repeat the measuring and cutting process for the second side's weatherstrip, ensuring symmetry with the first side.

Doing the opposite side, the other uh piece on the other door cuz this old style weather strip is a little bit narrow narrower than the new style weather strip. And he just wanted the two sides done.

Now, I'm going to make my saw cut.
