For those of you that have fitted your doors...

I am finding that a considerable amount of material must be removed from the door perimeter to get�them to where they'll recess into the canopy opening.� By considerable I mean that�possibly�1/8 to 1/4�further than�the scribe line is removed.� Is this normal?� Just being cautious!

I didn't see any other replies to this, so...

Yes, I believe that you will be trimming considerably further
than the scribe mark on some areas of the doors. In fact, you
can get the gap nice and thin while fitting them, between the lip
and inner door, but then if you cover the door with fabric
you'll end up trimming even further. So my advice is to not
paint that lip until you absolutely know the doors are done.
If you trimmed too far, it's not the end of the world. The
door seal will seal the air. If there's a lip there it
should keep out water. So beyond that I think it's mostly
cosmetic, so just try to make it nice and even.
