NPD makes a low profile trunk weatherstrip that allows your trunk to close like it should.

In the plant, the Fisher Body spec was to place the cut-and-trimmed joint centered on the latch; we used a small bead of pumpable black sealer/adhesive applied from a flow gun all the way around the gutter before rolling the seal into place, and used the same sealer to glue the cut ends together at the joint. Photo attached of my original 02D Norwood '69 joint.

The center location may be the picture perfect location, but in practice I have seen more off center than in the dead center...BKH
