Did you press the corners in first; then the remainder of the WS??
Also, it should be done in the sun on a warm day.
It may be possible to use some black RTV intide and glue on the ends to "fix" it?? The WS I installed last year even had a black plastic "L" glued along the inside edge (inside the hatch area) to reenforce the joint.

Go talk to Willcox, their weatherstrips are highly recommended by many on this forum.

I just installed a complete kit from Wilcox on my '95 and it's top quality and exact fit.
