Phil, I'm not sure it matters but I put the side against your thumb to the FRAME side. It was difficult to install even with the motor oil. Used a mallet to do the final seating. It was such a difficult process for me that I put more work/research into the tape I used for the door windows ( frame inside width minus window thickness divided by 2) and ordered the correct with tape from a vintage auto restoration supplier. Things went much smoother on the door windows.
I went and looked and I installed it the opposite of what I stated. Fabric to the frame.
