Windshield gasket orientation

[bkahler]

I have a glass installer coming tomorrow morning to install the windshield, corner and rear windows.  It's been way to many years since I removed the windshield and I can't remember the orientation of the gasket.  

 

Does this side face out (I think it does).

 

 

Or is this the side that faces out?  

 

 

 

I'm hoping to get it right the first time

 

Thanks

Is your windshield gasket a molded one piece?

look at the whole gasket for the taper larger side out. for the windshield. 
On mine, that made the flat side out for the division bar. 
 

on the rear windows the large lip on the inside, covers the headliners

The gasket is a one piece molded design that I got from Roberts a long time ago.  

 

I have a hunch it's probably self explanatory once you get the glass in the rubber ready to go.  After reading a  bunch of posts (including a couple of yours!) It would appear that if the glass is installed from inside the truck there is only one way it could go in.  The slit in the gasket that the sheet metal slips into would have to face outwards when installing from inside.  I think that means the flat side on the center bar goes out like you mentioned.  

 

This is probably another case of me over thinking things

i bought, and installed, mine from roberts years ago.  has worked well ever since.  if you zoom in, you can see that the center bar had yet to be installed for this picture.  i installed the glass from the outside as i recall.

Thanks for the pic and info.

 

That's a nice looking truck!

that was probably back when i first bought it, in 2007.  in person, it is a bit rough; fine by me, as i use it year round here in northern new england.
