What can I say, I guess that Gary must have had a backwards day!
Never saw any evidence of either side being hard on the original, that's maybe why they usually look like hell and there is a market for replacements!

The hard side goes against the hood & the soft part showing.Most of the Imperials I've owned had the original pad in place. This was the way they all were installed.

Subject: RE: IML: 66 Crown Coupe hood pad question
When I got the hood pad for my 67 from Gary I had the same question. On inspection the holes in the hood for the retaining clips were asymmetrical, and the way they would line up with the pad was with the firm side visible.
