yuck... Yes, basically. In x-section the seal is like a "2". When it's cut for the corners, the seal squashes flat before it parts. This distortion is maintained when the ends are glued together. On the genuine item the correct profile is maintained thoughout the manufacturing process, so it fits properly. |
