S6 to Allroad style door swap - have questions.

[Sparkstack]

Bottom of my current doors are beyond repair. Bought some replacement door shells from the eBay. Started swapping one over today and I've noticed a couple of minor differences which I presume were just running changes during production - but which is the newer change?

On the new door shell, the square cutout to accept the door handle inner plastic cover is not there:





Here it is on the old shell




The main part that concerns me is the rain strip on the top of the door. Old shell:



New shell:



Not sure if you can make it out - but the old strip has a channel in it - the new one does not. I presume the channel is to direct water to either end of the door.

Personally I wouldn't worry about either of those things. If the rain channel/seal worked fine for an allroad, there is no reason it shouldn't on the s6. Water gets inside doors all the time, thats why there are drains in the bottom of them.

I know of someone who swapped allroad doors on to his s6 and I don't remember him ever mentioning issues, apart from the awesomeness of no rub strip.
