Windshield Hinge Seal

Windshield Hinge Seal,
where and how do I put this in. in the hinge?, Under?, Behind? What way is the flat part go or the “bead” part of it?

It goes in between the two halfs of the hinge. You should be able to see which way it goes when you fold the windshield down to replace it.

I took it out three years ago

so the bead part of it faces the cab?

I saw some diagram somewhere that shows the bead pointing toward the hinge/hood.
With that said, when I installed mine the windshield frame had to be pushed down to close with the seal in place and it looked/felt like it was putting pressure on the hinge to part.
I ended up slicing the bead open so it could lay a little flatter.
Results may vary...

LMC catalog shows the bubble part facing forward toward the hood.

I would like to here any advice also,

The bead needs to apply pressure to the hinge to create a seal, so it goes toward the hinge pin (forward). Read these captions:
