there reply:

I have never installed one here with the molding so Im not exactly sure if it will fit perfect or not becasue the predrilled holes might be covered. If you decide to try it with the factory molding please let me know for future reference.

Thanks
Kevin

At this point, I'm really not sure. I'm hoping it will be possible to use the factory seal.
