yes, both nubs squeeze in with some effort. I used a popsicle stick to help. It will of course depend on the thickness of your glazing/acrylic and the thickness of the gasket material when compressed. I have heard (on this list) for years about how d-profile weather strip works well but I can't imagine that it really does. What I used was a thin (maybe 1/8 or 3/16") neoprene double sided sticky foam tape (it was a while ago but I know I bought it at McMaster) that was probably the 3m-VHB (very high bond) tape that people talk about. That stuff makes the spline almost irrelevant (when I did this 10 years ago I reused the old spline but a few years ago I decided it was too ugly not to replace so I found the stuff referenced above).
If you want a small piece of the spline to test send me your address and I'll put it in an envelope. Or if you want to buy some of the 80 ft that I have left from the original 100 ft roll let me know and I'm sure we can come to an agreement.
