TR2/3/3A TR-3A Spare tire lid rubber

I have purchased new rubber for the spare tire lid cover on my TR-3A. Can someone please send me a photo of correct install? coinsunc1@aol.com It appears the rubber gets glued on two sides. The car has a U shaped trough it goes in. I will call the INSIDE edge of the trough the part closest to the spare compartment. The BACK is the flat part closest to the cockpit. I'll call the OUTSIDE edge the part of the trough furthest from the spare tire compartment. (option A)If I glue it the the INSIDE and BACK there would be a little rubber tab facing out. (option B)If I glue it to the OUTSIDE edge and BACK the tab would be aimed at in toward the spare compartment hole. Photo would help. Thanks in advance for your assistance. I believe Option A is correct but am not certain.
 
I would be interested in seeing correct install as well. Maybe any pictures could be posted to forum. Cheers, Mike
