Beadlock on inside or outside of rear window? 55' big window

About to install my rear glass. It has a beadlock. I assumed it went on the outside but as I'm looking at the glass it looks like it could just as easily go on the I side... Does it even matter? Plus it seems like my rubber is too long, I have to cut it to fit???? Lame.

Max if you're talking about the lip of the rubber that goes over the metal lip of the body it goes to the inside..

Go's on outside looks better if installed on the inside that way outside seal matches front windshield.

Good, I put it on the outside. I got the chrome beadlock, my big window cab was predeilled for deluxe trim so I'm sticking with deluxe trim in front and back, so my windshield will have stainless trim so matching isn't an issue. Thanks!!!
