Correct door channel bracket installation

Post by Bretto »

Ok, after putting mine on, I am now seeing pics of these installed in both directions. Anyone know the correct way? Long side down or long side up?
ORD-9 pic shows long end down but I see pics of them up also. I went with the ORD. On the other hand though, it makes sense to have them long side up so that they pick right up where the window frame's section left off. I say they were made offset like that so that they just bolted to the flat section of the body and extend up to the curved part of the cowl.
