Im attempting to verify instructions on installing rumble seat seals (upper and lower) on my 35 Ford Coupe. The seals have a "B" shape cross-section. Does the curved side of the "B" contact the u-shaped channels or is that upside down?

Also since they fit really, really snug in the channels, would it be a good idea to leave them unglued so as to make replacing them in the future a lot easier?

GBees35-

I always put the concave side down in the trough. This allows any water that works it self between the channel side and the rubber to flow down to the pan by the "hollow tube" created by seal.

Had the same question on a 36. Which way is up?

BrianCT-

It is the same for a '36 as it is for a '35. I have one of each.
