I'd like to know if I need to plan for enlarging the opening to do a slider install beforehand (in my case into a single wall top). The diagram illustrates the differing gasket configurations and glass relation with regard to the wall of the top(s).
I have had both gaskets. The aftermarket gaskets I have seen are all the "S" type gaskets, although you can still get the "H" type, as it's used in heavy equipment.
