Strange, if they are new the vaseline shouldn't make them expand that quickly unless you left them like that for a long time. I guess you could try drying it off and setting it in the sun, but I doubt it will work, probably going go to have to get a new one.

Well, if you already have them in place and the housings ontop of them, then there's nowhere for them to expand to, so they should be just fine. That damn black seal is always a pain for expanding. Anyway, if your others are in place and the housings ontop of them, you should have no problems at all.
