1947 Curtis Wright

Anyone with an old Airstream? I am trying to figure out the door seal for the Curtis. It looks like the seal sold by Vintage AS is the right one. But, I need to get a warm feeling about installing that seal , riveting , between the panels of the door. The way the remnants of the old seal look...it has the seal laying on the outside of the door against the visible polished skin. The one flat side of the seal is then glued to the door flange. I show no residue of a seal, at all, on the door frame on the body. Looks like a big job and lots of bucked/squeezed rivets here. Any experience with this type seal?
