New trunk seal, now I can't close the trunk
Wow, that is big. I'm sure you removed your own seal so you are aware of how much larger it is. My 71 Scamp looks like this and seals very well. It is apparently a totally different style of seal. So that is obviously way more seal than required. Now a thought I had is that is hollow and has an air chamber and I was thinking it wouldn't allow it to collapse as it was pressured up. I have seen seals with little holes along them to allow for this. Seeing that seal (and being as cheap as I am), I would likely try running a razor along the outside edge and slicing it all the way around before I replaced it. If that allowed the trunk to close I would be happy. But most people would probably just buy a new seal of a different type.
