I have the rear window installed and everything looks good, except that on the passenger side, there is a gap where the gasket wants to stick up about 1/16" or so from the glass. 20221010_175222.jpg I can roll it over and it lays down, but when released it pops back up. I have not yet installed bedding compound. I don't know if that will help hold it down, or if it matters. Will the gasket sticking up a tiny bit like it is, interfere with the trim installation? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Dry fit gasket with clips before final, sometimes new gasket requires excess force to snap moulding down, bending trim!! As for gap, puit some bedding compound there and tape till dry. Then use the rope trick to install assembly.
