Default Radiator Shroud Seals - Quick ?

Installing radiator shroud today. Got new shroud seals from a great vendor. The two side seals are stuck on and no problem.

Question is: Which seals go on the top and bottom? There are two of different sizes. One is 3/4 x 3/8 and one is 1 x 1/2.

Only want to do this once!!!

Thanks in advance.

What you describe sounds like seals for an A/C car. From DR. R's catologue.... 3/4" x 3/8" down, 1" x 1/2" up.
Regards,
Alan

Default Bottom seal

This is not a direct answer to your question, but you might want to consider leaving the bottom seal out because it acts like a sponge and also keeps any water from draining through which will rust out the bottom in board side of your radiator support. The seals I'm referring to are the ones between the radiator and the support.This is what I plan to do.
