Default Rear Quarter window Seals Curves in

I just installed new quarter window seals and noticed the seal does not sit properly. Some of the seal edges curves inward.

Any suggestions?

The seals have four basic edges, not counting the two associated with the metal or plastic trim that fits in the outside of them. Which edge are you talking about?

The edge facing out to the body.

I recently saw a u-tube video about installing similar windows using a heavy cord to pull the inside edge over its flange on the car. Part of that video showed that sometimes the outer edge you are having trouble with needs to be pulled outward with some kind of smooth pointed tool. You will need to be careful not to damage the paint.

We followed the Dean Fuller video. No mention of pulling the outer seal edge out.
