        Eric, confused for sure.  OK, the RH one is obsolete.  What I do is to use what’s left of the old one.  Cut off the middle of the tubing leaving just the two grommet ends that go into the holes in the hatch and body with about an inch of tubing left then using split loom, cover the wires and tube with it and use the ends of the grommet to hold the split loom.  The problem you're having is VERY common !
