They flatten when the door closes. don't know how to get rid of it really.. I didn't buy it for looks, just to keep rain out and it has been exceedingly good at that job..

Is heat-gunning an option to get rid of those corner creases?

...and that's what it looks like installed around the Door. The trunk seal looks similar. I cut off all the factory trim on the door except the very bottom of the door so that water can't get in from underneath.

don't know what you can do about the windows... luckily my window seals were in okay shape.

Hey John.. if you can't find anything, you can use "bulb seal" from any good car interiors place.. it's about $2/foot. I mounted it on the door jam and hatch pinch weld and closed the door/hatch onto it. I tore out the original weatherstripping except for the undersides of the doors, so all you can see when getting in the car is the new seals.. so far I've been in torrential downpours and not a drop has passed through the hatch or the doors.
