Exactly. Check out the seal on this one... Some here would say it's upside down, but it's obviously original.

Here is a example of upside down inside out with the lip

If I recall correctly GM was selling an NOS version that the original vendor had assembled wrong - the ends were glued together backwards so that the inner lip was actually on the outside and vice versa. I had one of them on my Z11 years ago and could not get it to install properly in the right-side-up position. I tried cutting it at the glue seam and reglueing it the other way but it was all kinked up due to the age of the rubber. I ended up using the original seal.

The seals pictured need to be spayed outward (blue tape work well to hold it) until the seal holds the shape properly, but they are not upside down (Charley's pics are upside down). The upside down seals really bug me, enough that I wrote instructions how to fix them 5 years ago [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] I have even help people fix them at car shows [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

thanks for chiming in Kevin.
Taping the seal is a good idea as I have done it with good results on NOS &amp; reproduction seals.
The sharp wrinkles then can be further removed by placing it in the sun all day or two till they reform to a full circle.
Some of the above cars (reviewing the many pages) do have the seals inside out ,upside down and most just upside down as noted by Kevin in the Team Camaro thread, with unopened lips.....as recently, I reinstalled 2 seals on friends cars the same way,by opening the lip from the seal.

Still...... need to see -3- in a row correct ones to cheer on. before &quot;I go away&quot;. lol

We need to have a step-by-step on how to install the Ford &quot;Caution Fan&quot; sticker for cars going to auction. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

#105. This is the first COPO 9561 Camaro built and it is an 01B X22 car with a 713 black houndstooth interior. It was sold new at Courtesy Chevrolet in Sebring OH. It was advertised as a numbers matching car with 21K miles and having it's original window sticker and POP. I first saw this car at the Chevy Vette Fest in 2003 when the Adcock brothers owned it. I have the order number as NOR221873 which is later than the first 120 Yenko's, but it was produced before any of them were.
