while the seals may be a bit thicker than what came off (the originals get compressed over time), they still should fit in. its definitely a tight fit the first time around. you can try wiping a little silicone spray on the seal when you try to put the top in for the first time to let it slide in a bit easier. if you used a lot of adhesive underneath (or didn't scrape all the old stuff off), it may have pushed the seal up a bit too

i think in reality i might have used too much adhesive on the t-bar and its now too tight to the roof and makes the t tops too tight on the seal .... so off comes the tbar....AARGHH .... oh well hope it works ahhahhh

I had same problem with mine! I put some wd40 on the edge(T-Top) and push them in at an angle, holding the outside edge up and moving it up and down while pushing in. It took a while but they went in. They were a pain but after a while its OK now.
