I ordered mine from late model restoration and I am having the same problem. It looks a little odd because the seal sticks up a little.

I left mine closed for a couple of days and i guess it molded itself to the roof. It did get eaiser to close. Im happy with it....

the seal will need time to compress and take it's shape like the old one. I bet when theese cars were new they did the same thing for the first month or so

i was hoping that was the case but after 1 1/2 yrs its still the same as the day i installed it...so im guessing i have no such luck...

I bought mine from Blue oval industries, I did not like it where the Stripping butts together, but it fit right in the opening with no problems.
