Engine seal Question?

I am just trying to attach a new rear apron panel ( as a removable panel) but the track where the engine seal slides into does not match up with the side tracks. Is this how it is supposed to sit or do i have a dud panel? I dont have one to compare to.
Cheers
Dave

prob an after market rear apron you may have to do some bending to align the seal track between the new and old panels depending on whats bent

It is an aftermarket panel and came with the beetle I purchased. Maybe I will have to find someone with a beetle and take a closer look.
Thanks

yeah some of the replacement panels need a bit of pushing n shoving to get them fitting like the origional thats if the origionals are straight in the first place
