I am installing the step plates/threshold plates and am wondering what to do with the ends of the windlace material. Should they be cut off or do they roll under the door jams?
I have not seen a picture of them installed.
Thanks for any help.

My step plates are definitely original ( beat up ) I also think my windlace is original too but not positive and they are cut at the bottom of the inside lip of the step plate junction so the tab strip is hidden and not sticking out under the plate.

Do you have a picture of it?
