I have had three of the seals (from both Moss & TRF) and all have had the
word "back" centered on the underside (cowl) side of the seal.

Maybe someone already mentioned this small detail, but the rubber below the
windshield is sided. The top of the T of the cross section profile (which
slides into the windshield frame) is not perpendicular to the long dimension
of the profile which rests on the scuttle to make the seal. Installed
incorrectly the seal will not rest on the scuttle correctly and may lift off
at some points. Installed correctly it will be a little concave on the
outside, pressing tightly against the scuttle.
Soap up the rubber to make installation a little easier.
Also just to repeat an important message, the small mounting screws affixing
the stanchions to the frame will crack the glass if installed incorrectly.
The lengths of the attaching screws are NOT the same top to bottom.
