Hi Dan,
I started my door sills on my own and had the same problem. I wasn't happy with the fit so before I drilled any more holes I removed it, filled the hole with JB Weld and waited for my son to come home to help. Much easier with two people. Also, the manual states "the top edge of the sill should extend about 2 1/2" past the center of the latch." That is a mistake. I spoke with Jack at ERA because that just didn't seem right to me and he confirmed that the sill should start as high as it can - right up where the door edge curves downward.
So, if you're not happy with them they can be removed and reshaped if there are no kinks. If you decide to do that, I really recommend a helper to hold the strip tightly in place and push it against the curve while you drill the holes and put screws in one at a time.
Kevin
