Default a little help with weatherstripping

Hey guys,

I can't figure something out. The roofline rubber weatherstripping doesn't seem right. The quarter window wants to snuggle up behind the rubber. When I close the door, the window sits in front of the same rubber piece. One behind and one in front? Just doesn't seem right. Is the quarter window suposed to roll up on the outside too? Here is a pic. By the way, it's amazing how new weatherstripping can make you car look soooo good.

weather stripping on the quarter window should be behind the door window,,if it's spliting then you have an alignment issue

I'm not quite understanding the explanation. So is the rubber weatherstrip supposed to be on the outside and the glass on the inside? Just like my quarter window in the pic? So that means the door glass need to be aligned to go behind the rubber? Anybody have pics? Thanks guys!

I am such a dumba$$. I have the two weatherstrippings reversed. I have the driver's side in the passenger door and visa versa. I was looking at some of my other mustangs in pics and seen what I did.
