Are you talking about #6 or #7:

#6 I installed with the lip facing up, and #7 I installed with the tapered end facing up (meaning the side with the black stripe is up). Fair warning I have no idea what I am doing so I'm not saying this is the correct orientation, I am just halfway done installing Konis right now so would like to know if I did it wrong too...
