Default weatherstripping around targa ?

I'm in the process of condition the weatherstipping under the targa top. Does the rubber stripping (on the car between A pillars) at the rear of the roof go over the hard plastic or get pushed under it? I can't find any pictures.

Neither man, look under your roof panel when it's removed. There is a little "shelf" that sticks out. There is a a fiberglass roof panel that is glued to a hard plastic/composite frame. The fiberglass panel is what sits directly against the weatherstripping.

The first picture shows the weatherstripping positioned over top the hard plastic. I checked another site to be sure and it shows the weatherstripping tucked under the hard plastic? lol can somebody please lift the back of their targa and let me know what you see?

On mine, the weatherstripping goes under the plastic. The contact with the roof is only at the top of the weatherstripping, not at the front.
