The later model strips glue to the front edge of the door jamb if I recall
correctly, starting as down low as you can, with the beaded part sticking
out above the surface of the car exterior. Its purpose was/is to spoil the
area over the leading edge crack in front of the door to keep air pressure
off the interior seals. So, I think it goes to the body, not the door.
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, I am just remembering the way it
was on my Carat.
