I know that this topic has come up before concerning trunk weatherstripping with how hard it is to close the trunk but after installing new weatherstripping on my trunk, I cannot even get it to close. Prior to installing it, the trunk lid was about a 1/4 inch below the quarter panel alignment, now with it on, I cannot lock the trunk. I have a couple 25lb weight plates holding it closed now so that hopefully the stripping will compress some. Anyone else have this issue after the install and how long before it compressed enough to close properly. I tried to move the locking plate up some but it is at its highest. The weatherstrip came from Mustangs Unlimited and is very pliable. Thanks for any input.
