I was taught to put the fabric side out, rubber goes against the glass. We didn't use oil on the that style, just on the rubber tape.never asked why. It wasn't wise for the 18 year old new guy to question the why's of the oldtimers teaching me, just do it their way! We would also notch the corner to let it curve around without bunching too much. Start the glass/ tape into frame as far as possible with hand pressure, if necessary you can tap the frame with a plastic or rubber hammer while keeping pressure inwards on the glass with your hand if its in the door or against a padded bench surface to seat it. I think its harder and takes longer to explain than to do it! Just don't try to drive the glass into the frame with a 16 oz. claw hammer like one of my helpers tried!
