Which brand of seal did you use? I bought three different ones till I went to Steele Rubber. It was the only one that would let the glass close all the way. There seal is made from softer rubber and has a relief cast into it. It looks just fine and worked better then expected. Don't try to force yours or else a new glass will be needed! I tried the setting in the hot sun, heat guns, lube, and what ever else I could think of, they were just to hard of rubber. Joe
