I guess I will reply since none of the other 30 people who looked at your post is going to.
I am thinking it will have to have a lip on it to hold the glass in. I guess we are talking about the same thing. As far as I know there are only two different gaskets. One has a groove in it for the chrome trim to stick into and one does not. It should be the same style as what your old one is. Make sure they sent you the proper piece. I hope this is some help to you. Good luck

Sorry to say but, it sounds like the wrong seal. There should definately be a lip to come inside of the pinch weld.

1957/60 F100/1100: There are two different w/shield weatherstrips.

B7C-8103110-A = Use without stainless steel w/shield mouldings.

B7C-8103110-B = Use with stainless steel w/shield mouldings.

The difference is: With w/shield mouldings, the w/strip has a groove in it.

Carpenter has both these w/strips ($40.00-either) and they're made in the US of A.

Call Carpenter @ 800-476-9653, order a 1957/66 repro truck parts catalog...it's free.
