I will happily admit that the late model perimeter seal is a superior 
design.  But I did not say, nor will I concede, that the early model 
perimeter seal is "a horror show."

What makes early model perimeter seals horrible to deal with is when 
someone has previously screwed them up, typically by trying to short-cut 
the procedure.  In stock, factory form, they ain't hard a measure of 
patience.
