Anyone know the trick on how to get rid of the buckle in the corners. I installed a new seal, and the corners bulge out a bit on the inside. The outside laid flat.

If it's the Claytonrite style rubber i'm thinking of,this style of rubber is prone to this,especially on tighter corners.

Due to the insert/lockstrip opening on the outside face,this allows it to conform to the shape better whereas the inside is solid and tends to pucker.

You can lessen the look by gently heating the rubber with a hot air gun,be careful not to melt it,overheat the glass or surrounding paint etc.
Once it's reached a reasonable temperature gently persuade it into the correct shape with your fingers,wear a glove if you wish.
Try and hold it in 'til it cools slightly.
I hope this helps.

I'd give it a bit of time- Mine did the same thing and I was thinking that I left it too long- but a week later and the corners are laying much better with not nearly as much of the warping that was present when we first put the window in...
