Soft Top seal replacement

[mburman]

This may seem like a stupid question but...

I recently bought new seals for my soft top (door window top and rear). The top window seal is one piece end to end. Every time I lower the top, the seal pops out of the channel at the separation in the frame. The old seal was either cut or torn or came in two pieces. Is it supposed to be in two pieces or am I missing something in the installation?

Any and all help is appreciated!!
