Just make sure the pain it cleaned of any dirt, dry, stick the seal down as flat as possible and in one whole length.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for this solution, hopefully it resolves my issue as the current water feature on rainy days is not in my list of optional extras.
@Peter86 Did you have any issues with the electric tailgate failing to close? It's obviously reading the new seal as interference and reopening each time. Possibly once the seal had been compressed by the tailgate for a while this issue will resolve itself as going to a smaller seal would seem to defeat the purpose.
