Were you replacing it due to age or trying to cure a leak? If its a leak be sure to check the cowl drain boots in the trunk also. Good luck.
It was just because it was aged and there was a little rust starting in places, I have placed the seal in the 'trough' and placed weights on the trunk-lid to 'flatten' the seal a little before I glue it.

I had already replaced the cowl drain hoses (and the patch of rust in the trunk floor!)

Thanks for the advice.
