Hi, I'm a little confused. Are the cantrails fitted before the channels for the rubber seals or after?

After...as you need too install the self tapping screws (that hold the can’t rails) through these channels..so firstly use rivets to hold the channels then install the cant rails, then install the rubbers

Thanks Jonathan that's how I am doing it but I've read somewhere recently that it is done the other way round. Just glad to know I don't have to take the seal channels off .
