1.) Where does that extra (top) end windlace and material tuck into? (I've already screwed up and cut it off, but guess I can get another as needed. I NOW see one post that said to tuck it into the sheet metal, but I don't see anywhere to tuck it.
2.) Does the windlace get "glued" to the panel, or does it remain loose and simply held in by the 3 clips holding the panel in?

Thanks.

At the top of the door jamb there's a little notch that allows you to tuck it in between the jamb and door panel. The round portion of the windlace should have a flat extension with a cardboard stiffener inside. That flat part gets screwed or riveted to the inner body sheetmetal behind (covered by) the door panel. The bottom of the windlace tucks under the end of the sill plate.

Thanks.

I didn't see any holes in metal, so I'll add tonight. Fortunately, the piece I cut off is still long enough to tuck (I think....).

Thanks again.
