Am I using the correct part?

Okay okay, the rear screen's not going how I envisaged and I can see I'm going to have some 'fun'.
Just to check the 'idiot' things first; the rear screen seal I have is 911-545-225 - although described as for the '74 to '89 cars, my old version of PET suggests this also replaced the earlier part nr 911-545-901.
Have I got the correct seal?
My second question relates to the corners - there seems to be rather too much rubber bunching up at each corner when I fit the seal to the glass; I've got the 'join' in the seal aligned with the mark in the top middle of the glass as I believe it should be, so what am I doing wrong?
So far I've assembled everything dry whilst Haynes suggests using glycerine - could this be a contributory factor?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
