Dont think it would have mattered. This gasket was way too loose. I need to do the front windshield also so I guess we'll look into your tip. As for the lock strip. I was hoping to reuse the old one, but it looks kinda bad. After installing the new gasket decided to get a new lock strip. I have not decided if I want black or chrome. Thanks for the info. Learning as I go.
