Bill,
The seal should fit flat without any bulges. I first thought that you had
picked up something under the seal during installation that's causing it
not to lay flat but evidently it's bulging on both sides.
These seals are made long so that when they're installed they run long
about 2 inches beyond each lower windscreen frame. The deal is that the extra
length gives you a chance to trim the seals nicely to fit the
weatherstriping. It sounds like maybe you thought you needed to have a final
fit for
the seals flush to the windscreen frame and perhaps bunched the seal inward
to cause a bulge???
They definitely do not require windscreen sealant to lay flat.

I am reinstalling my windshield. After bolting it down, the MOSS sourced
windshield frame to scuttle seal bulges out about 3 or 4 inches in from
the
windshield lower corners. It looks like a water trap. I didn't use a
sealant
on the seal because I live in an arid climate. I've been thinking about
using
a water cleanup clear latex sealant to glue it on with the windshield off
of
the car. Any suggestions?
