Default Re: Questions under the cowl cover--gasket and flapper door.

Possible "WHOA!" moment, guys.
Attached 3 photos show:
1. The glass/cowl gasket installed on the glass with shorter leg on top side (labeled with "A" on tape).
2. The glass/cowl gasket installed on the glass with longer/rounded/thicker leg on top side (labeled "B" on tape).
3. Short section of gasket where the longer/rounded/thicker/leg was damaged, probably during my removal.
Before I removed the gasket, it was in the "A" position, which may have contributed to the longer leg getting caught in some of the sealant.
Research on possible replacement gaskets seems to indicate they are installed in the "B" position, which would appear to create a better seal.

Would appreciate feedback on whether A or B is correct, or did some tech in the mists of time just use what was on hand in his shop?

If I replace this in the B position, will the slight damage shown in photo 3 be of significant concern?

(M60A3Driver is that beautiful black cowl the result of the Mequiars or paint and Meguiars?)
