Fitting headlight covers

[paulsco]

I am preparing the body shell for re-spray and as part of this I am trial fitting the headlight covers. The chromes fit quite well, but the glass rubber surrounds are a bit bulky and raise the surrounds in the areas between the screws. I bought them from SNGB.
My originals which unfortunately are not good enough to use, fit reasonably well.
Am I missing something here; how do you get them to stay flush with the bonnet?
Do I have to cut them down to fit?

Thanks,

Paul

Got ours from BAS in Newport and their rubber parts seem better than SNG's

Thanks for the reply George; I will look into the ones BAS supply.
