Vent window rubber - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

On the outside of the truck, does it tuck inside, or lay outside the door? I have it outside, but it's wrinkled & doesn't look right.
Thanks

I compromised. My driver's side is tucked in, the passenger side is hanging out and wrinkley.
Definately plan to change the passenger side, but am concerned about water leaking in because the rubber doesn't seal tight at the bottom. Guess that's what sealent is for.....

I guess I'll tuck it in because it sure doesn't look right out, but it seems like it should be out to keep water out of the door.

The only thing that will keep water out of these doors is a garage...lol. Just keep your drain holes clean

I am pretty sure they were meant to go on the inside.
I left mine on the outside and after being out for several months I beleive that if I were to move them to the inside now they would seal better than before.They seem to have a better curve to them now.

Have fun
