Default suggestions regarding new w/s frame

Well, I went and bought a repro windshield frame for my '29 roadster pick-up from Speedway. It arrived last week along with the outer frame weatherstrip I ordered. I pre-fit it between the stanchions with the hardware to see how it would look. Everything looked good....or so I thought.

Here are some pics of the frame in place. Notice anything wrong?




There is no channel on the side pieces to slip the weatherstrip into, yet the bottom piece has it! Nothing was listed in the product description indicating this was modified...

Being new to the Model A, is this something that you veterans are familiar with? Is this what I was supposed to get, or a manufacturing mistake? Maybe Speedway sells these cheaper than other vendors because of this...I just don't know. Can I cut a slot on either side for the strip; return it (hassle); or just use the channel in the bottom and 'concoct' something for the sides of the frame?

Thanks for any advice.
