Rick,
How about just cutting all the way through the seal; either in the bottom
middle or left down side and then wrapping both ends towards one another ..
I can't see any other way...

Rick,
I seem to recall that they changed the shape of the seal at some point in
time. If they sent you a newer seal I don't know if it will work on the
older hatch.
Sounds like you need to lube the seal and pull it around the corners - a
real PIA!
