Is my sunroof seal too high?

[Cevan]

Trying to determine if the felt seal on the rear of my sunroof panel is too high. The round part of the seal sits a little proud of the panel surface as the photo shows.

When I installed the seal, the bottom of it sits right on the horizontal surface of the rear of the panel. In other words, if the seal needs to be flush with the panel, the bottom of the seal would need to fold back a little.

IMO that is too high. You will likely have to fold the bottom a bit. There's a second rubber seal along that back edge as well that helps to locate the panel in the vertical plane, and if missing will exacerbate any alignment issues. I don't see it in your pic but maybe it came after.

Thanks. I’ll try and use heat to remove it and reinstall. I do have the rubber seal installed. It’s basically a rain gutter to channel water to either side.
