Default 65 upper window roller guide orientation?



This is a photo of the end of my 65 upper window roller guide. When installed, does the rounded corner face up or down? My 65 had one facing up and one facing down. I assume the rounded corner is there for a reason. I also assume the guides should be straight in both planes. Both of mine are slightly bent.

Thanks for your input.

IIRC the rounded end faces up, though I don't know if it is critical. It allows you to slip the channel over the roller(s) on the regulator mechanism from above more easily when installing the window assembly .

Thanks for the reply. I have tried it both ways and I think you are correct; it will work either way.

Again thanks!
