New roof rail weather stripping fitment issues

I purchased some METRO roof rail weather stripping for a 1969 Dart 2 door hardtop and have installed it, the fitment at the front, right where it starts going down the "A" pillars is terrible on both sides, it's like it is too wide/bulky right there at that corner. I think the bulkiness is also holding out the glass from sealing.
I'm looking for thoughts from others that have installed new weatherstripping?
Thank You!
