Help! Rear Liftgate Seal (which way is up???)

[007Tacoma]

Yes. I searched. Apparently this hasn't been an issue for a 5th Gen owner yet.

I took the seal off for some... work... now I can't remember which side goes up!

Help!

Full Story:
I got a bit over ambitious this weekend. Instead of just installing some ambient lights in the passenger compartment, I installed lights, Blue Sea fuse box, wiring for CB/Ham Radio, wiring for compressor, wiring for subwoofer, AND cargo lights. In the process I took the entire interior apart including door seals. The other seals I think I got, but the rear lift gate seal has 3 orange markings and 1 white... um???

The best answer I got...

Okay... In case anyone is looking for an answer to the question later, just remember:

:director: "Drain holes go down, Dummy." :redbrick:

I figured it out on my own, but not before panicking and running to the interwebz for help.

There are drain holes on the outer bottom channel of the seal. This is there for obvious reasons. Also, there are 4 paint markers on the inside track of the seal. Three of these were orange. One of them was white. The white one goes in the upper right hand corner of the tailgate. When you put the seal back in place, remember to tuck it under the tail lights and the outer sheet metal trim. This was also throwing me off earlier.

I hope this helps someone from panicking the way I did.
