Hi matt, I accidentally cut a 1″ strip about 8″ in on the tube piece of 4R on the side that seals to the floor sides. I was trying to cut the 1″ off on the part that seals directly to the floor bottom for the width of my iron. I did not cut it directly off so it is just hanging there. My question would be can I continue on as normal and just seal the flap to where it would normally go. Would this decrease the structurally integrity of that spot? Is there a way I can add a reinforcement strip?
