Cerbera door seals

[ceejay]

Looking for advice on how to fix door seal problems and minor water ingress in the lower front corner of each door. These seals were recently fitted and have kinked so water gathers and creeps in. I’ve seen some that have the seal cut away but I’d rather not do that. Has anyone successfully unlinked or straightened? Other remedies? Car is garaged but I’d like to use more this year now the engine has been rebuilt. TIA, ceejay.

My joint is half way along the bottom edge, not up the door. I've not got kinking, but I guess that sometimes happens.
Can you warm that bit in hot water to make it more pliable and smooth it out

I'd guess having the ends there will mean any water getting into the seal will run down the inside of the seal into the car. Shouldn't there be a piece of rubber tubing inside the 2 ends joining them together?
