[Roadsters] Front bow to windshield seal 1965 SP310.

[Graeme S.]

Hi folks,
1965 low screen SP310.
I'm at the stage of trying to ascertain the orientation of the rubber 
seal that goes between the soft top front bow and the top rail of the 
windscreen.
I believe the seal is designed to be bonded to the windscreen rail since 
it also works with a hard top if used.
That's what the Parts Manual shows anyway.
True/false?
I have attached a link to a drawing I have made of the cross section of 
the seal.

I have marked what I think should be the front and top edges of the seal 
if it were bonded to the windscreen rail
To me, the seal should have the "slit" facing down and forwards to act 
as a rain water trap.
The two edges I have shown as mating with the screen top rail are a 
rougher finish than the two exposed edges so that reinforces my idea 
that they are designed to be bonded.
The rear edge has a neat little shoulder that wraps around the rear edge 
of the rail.
Anyhoo, can someone enlighten me as to whether I have this correct or not?

I hope at least one of the links work, let me know if they don't :(
