That opening you see on the seal is to accomodate the center support of the wind deflector and it should be mounted on the bottom with the fold on the top.
I´m sure you already know this: the wind deflector must be removed along with side felts to do the job correctly. The ONLY seal that will fit correctly is OE. With a little silicone spray, the OE seal will intall easily in about 30 minutes.

As far as I know the 108, 109, 114, 115, 116 use the same wind deflector as the 123. I suppose it´s possible that some idiot removed or broke it before you bought the car.
The sunroof will work without the deflector: it will just be very noisy.

Stroke 8's didnt have a wind deflector. 107 SLC didnt either. Those are the only ones i know for sure that did not have them.
