Does this Sunroof Seal look right?

I had my car painted and the Sunroof seal disappeared. Got a new one but I remember it being flush with the roof line and sunroof when the sunroof was fully closed. Thats my memory, but the new one is quite a bit rececessed. Is the right??? BTW, new seal is Mazda OEM.

Hmmm...I appreciate the pic. Thats how I remember it being. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?? It should be a no brainer just putting the seal grooved portion on on the sunroof outer edges?

Looks like I'm a stooge. I had the felt portion facing inward instead of out. Duh

So the seal was inside-out like an inside-out shirt?

I think you were doing what I was doing because that was my problem. Try a different approach with the felt facing outward. Hopefully yo can see the felt in the picture. My stayed on once I did that with no gap in the back.

I still cant get it just right on the car. Some of the felt shows so Im try to fix that.
