Which way does the gasket fold???

I finally got around to installing my cowl again, and I added a new gasket that runs along the top (the one that seals against the hood).

I can't remember if it is supposed to fold back towards the windshield when I close the hood, or if it is supposed to fold forward towards the radiator.

The way it was packaged, it is folding forward at the moment, and it is not allowing my hood to sit flush with the cowl (yes the hinges are adjusted correctly...it sits fine without this gasket)

If it's supposed to fold back towards the glass, I can remove it, fold it the direction needed, and place a board or strip of angle iron on it in the sun until it "assumes the position"

Quick, somebody pop your hood and see which way yours is leaning!!

Thanks guys,
Putter
