You seem to be missing the part where the OP starts out his thread by saying

I did some searches and I am pretty sure I am right, But Im a novice and I just would like a bit of clarification.

I had my window seals put together by someone else. When I started to put them back in the bus, I am pretty confident they are backwards.
.

The customer never bitched about the shop (or even named them), yet the "shop" did reply in his own defense. From reading your first post, it doesn't seem like you're reading the same thread as me. Rolling Eyes Confused

If the OP choses to review the info in this thread and re-do his seals properly or improperly, it is his choice to make. Jumping in on the thread like you've done doesn't help anybody figure out the right way to install the seals.

I'll shut up now....lets hear some talk about seals and installing them. Wink

The seals go with the OVERLAP FACING THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUS.

I also seem to recall the one popout you sent me with that you did make an attempt at, the outer seal was in backwards.

Please, before you try and tell me I'm wrong, be sure you're right. Wink Rolling Eyes

I looked at mine last night. I coulldn't get any pics worth more than crap, but it looked like the lip/overlap went to the outside.

Not that it is easy to see in this pic either.

I was using my origional* window seals. (*presumably OG, but I've had it for about 30years)
