Is the rubber sitting in the car correctly,

Are you sure there WCM

If so return them to whoever you bought them off

There are some alternative rubbers available
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

I used WCM on mine and they are a bit stiff, they will soften up after a while and seal a lot better.

i thought they got harder as the got older not softer(this sounds really bad...must keep mind out of gutter!!) so they start out hard then get soft(that makes sense!:kiss) then when they are really old they get hard again!! How come my VW has all the fun:kiss
