That is shown in the service manual, under body sealing.
You can get a copy at MyMopar.

The trim piece that holds the seal has to be perfectly clean from any pieces left from the old one. A plastic scraper and lacquer thinner worked good. This piece is stainless so there was no rust!
You can see that I marked, with tape, where the two glasses are located. The seal that I bought has two different profile pieces joined together right where the two glass comes together. That's where you need to start with the installation. The quarter glass fits inside the seal and the front goes on the outside of the seal.
The front end of the seal has a piece of flat metal inside. You just have to shape it to fit the curve where it is going to be glued. Clean any old glue off the paint with lacquer thinner and clean the new rubber with the same to remove any "mold release" that is on it. I used the 3M Super black adhesive. Coat both sides, wait till tacky and place together.
On the other end just leave about three or four inches of seal below the bottom of the window. Once installed, roll the quarter windows up, watching for any folding of the rubber. I used a thin plastic trim tool to help the glass into the groove where it belongs. Check it inside and out. Once in place I loosened the two lower track adjustments to let the window find center.

I posted the section from my '62 build. Yours might be a little different but the idea is the same. I show in my thread to find the center of your seal (where the two different profiles are) for best results.

Thanks for the post. But I am looking for the front edge of the wing window frame in the door , not the body.

My bad. If anything I'll give your thread a bump.
I didn't take that piece out because it was in good shape. I'm not even sure if the '62 is the same. This is the only pic I have.

I think he's looking for the placement of the foam seal on the front edge of the vent window frame that runs down onto the door...The one that would seal from the vent window assembly to the A pillar post...the above covers everything from that point rearward...
It is all slightly different on a 65 HT than on the 62...

Can't say for sure, but of course there's probably minor differences. A screw here, or there, about it. Otherwise, pretty much the same, how that seal goes in.
Think the seal he means, is the inner rubber seal, that the vent window fits against. Sorry, no pictures...
On my 64, of course, I had to pull the old seals out. Had my doors, window frames, and the vent window frame, all completely tore down. Made things easier. That included the vent window out of it's frame.
The seal...relative...comes out one way, goes in one way. Pay attention pulling the old seal out, and going by the book, noted how the seal was in place, any glue (don't remember), new seal back in same as the old one came out. Wouldn't call it fun, but needed to be done, right?

My bad, too! Think your right, skicker, after re-reading the post.
Pretty much the same seal on a 64. Just compared old glue areas, to new, just a little neater. Think it gets glued it's full length.

I just cleaned up a pair of vent window frames for my 65 H/T...The glue residue came off nice with Acetone but the seals themselves were long ago destroyed...I looked through all the pics I have of a couple different builds and I got nothing for comparison...

If their like my 64's, only 'line-up', is for the two reliefs at the screws. Without stretching the rubber, goes along the 'fold', full length.
