100-6 BN4 side curtains - questions

[Vespa]

I got the new rubber seals for the 100-6 side curtains (second type). There seems to be an outside and an inside, but how do you tell which is which? Second, I got the new felt for the channels. Does that go on the top and bottom, or on all four sides? Is it glued in? Would it KILL manufacturers to pop a direction sheet in with the parts?

Recently I have substituted one of my side curtains rubber seals
same problem--
the oldest seals, probably original, is completely different and have -)- profile-
for the newest (passenger side LHD car) I have preferred the -(-
here you find the better photo side screen of my collection

this is a NEWEST profile installation

2)Fortunately I haven't the occasion to install the felt the pair of SC that I have find on e bay UK are NOS - and only RX seals are damaged- but I believe that felt substitution with the actual stare felt -problematic ---If your felt is in decent condition avoid the substitution, and
only refresh.
I will tray to make one good macro photo of my original channels felt for you.
Cheers

Hi Lin
Mi oldest sidecurtain redesign is stopped I will finish my car, before, but i am nearest at the end
BUT NOT abandoned- I have also upgraded and simplified the project, now the fulcrum is a single bar from front to rear,
probably aluminium first I attempt by a pipe 10mm diameter cut flat at the center, with some screws to connect it to the plexiglass
-this is my new
sketct
otherwise a round bar grinded flat in the center section
this solution have better rigidity and are more strongest, some differences from the oldest designbut follow same concept
Cheers
