    REar Hatch Weatherstrip Secret

    Hey Everyone, So i tried to install my weather-strip on the hatch. The corners are my struggle point. I actually have to reorder new weather-strip because i pretty well used up all of the tacky ness of it.

    What's the secret on the corners so that it looks smooth and it stays.

    Thankyou
    Nelson

    I just sort of work it around the corners with my fingers. Don't pull it when going around the corner. I kind of push the inside while forming. Its never perfect but pretty good.
