Default Rubber window stop

Does anyone have a picture of the rubber window stop at the bottom of the door? It has some shape. Which way does it go? Thanks!

this part? the parts manual shows the nipple facing up with the longer section facing forward. i'm guessing the nipple plugs into a hole on the bottom of the window mechanism assembly - ???? then again, common sense tells me it should snap into the (inner) bottom of the door cavity. who knows? can't swear any of this is correct.

Well I know the nipple faces DOWN because it snaps in from the inside of the door. IT goes length wise side to side, not front to back. The question is does the longer side face toward or away from center of car

Looking at the FSM 10-6-13 (or thereabouts) it appears to me that the 'short' dimension should go towards the center of car and probably but up snugly to the inner door panel frame. If your door is far enough apart to access it, it should be maybe obvious.

You bought at least one of these back in 2014 from @indallas1978 - how did you use your purchase?

honestly, installed nipple down but facing fore and aft. i was flying blind and somewhat clueless at the time. i'll be tearing into my doors soon, and this info will give me a chance to install correctly. the way i installed them, even wrong didn't seem to cause any problems - ????
