Red, I assume you and Alan are referring to Picture "B", correct? (The second picture from the left. Hold your cursor over the picture and the caption appears.)

Alan, I know I have a problem with spatial relations, but I can't figure anything out from the Steele reference pictures. I look at it, think I know what it says, go down to the basement, put the rubber the way I think they show it. Get confused. Come back upstairs, stair at the picture again. Repeat process, repeat process, etc.

I can't see how I could possibly get the bottom retaining strip on with "C" in the rubber facing out from the door, like in reference pictures B, C, or D. Do you just not glue the one edge and jam it all down until the screws align with the screw holes?

Guys, I know I'm being a big pain in the butt, and dense as well, but I do not want to do this a third time, so I need to be sure I'm doing it right this time.

Am I correct that the "C" in the rubber faces the body when the door is closing, and the long "ear" is toward the center of the door. In other words, the longest side of the weatherstripping is not glued. The concave side is not glued. The shortest "ear" rests on the door skin, and is glued to it, and the remaining edge - the straight one, is glued to the door panel. This is represented by my picture "B."

I sincerely apologize for being so dumb about this.
