T-Top weatherstripping shipping damage?

The creases on both sides are about in the middle of the run that sits in the center t-top bar.

Driver's side:



Passenger's side:





The rubber on both sides have what look to be permanent creases. Is this going to give me sealing problems? Should I send them back?

They will go back to their original shape..no worries..no need to send them back..just let them sit in the sun for a couple hours.

OK, so not directly related to the OP's question, but this made me laugh. The guy in Florida telling the guy in Canada to just let it set in the sun a couple of hours.

But to the OP, yes, letting it set in the heat will fix it.
