Just a little FYI

The question has come up about the bow seal or weatherstrip on the rear bow. YES.... the seal can be installed backwards. If it is installed incorrectly, the seal will blow out the sides at the doors when the top is up. It will be almost impossible to get the top latched down without jumping on it. The seal is beveled toward the trunk not the tonneau. Hope this will help.
