Are these seal strips pre cut or are they extra long and trimmed to fit? 

I'm not familiar with this exact appliaction but if it is anything like the 
seals used on flat glass aluminum vans there is a trick.    If they are trim to 
fit, they are probably being streched during install and relax to original 
length later.  The trick here is to measure what is needed, add a 1/2 inch or 
so 
then make sure all of the rubber is used.
