I would concur with Jean's observation but would also add that you should
watch for damage to the groove in the lower windshield rail.
I have encountered several where the "T" shaped groove had been crushed a
little making installation of the seal impossible. I made a little tool
from the head of a flat head nail that use to open the groove up to its
original size.
