Lower rear window Trim question

[NGC414]

I'm putting my 68 charger back together and have a question about the rear window trim. The window ledge on the rear deck panel has a slight curve as does the bottom of the rear window. But the bottom trim is perfectly straight.
It appears it's going to have a gap on one end. Is there something I'm missing?

Just to clarify...are you talking about the curve in the window, meaning it is not perfectly flat but the actual trim piece is flat and does not follow that curve?  The trim is held in place by those annoying little clips so you will need to put some tension on the trim to follow the curve but it shouldn't be warping the trim or anything.  If you feel that you cannot put the trim on without kinking it then something indeed isn't right.  Can you provide some pictures of the isssue?

There is a curve on the window bottom and also a slight curve on the window channel side of the deck panel. Yet my trim is perfecly straight.
I just sat the window in and layed the trim across the bottom and its almost 1/2 inch off on one side or the other.
I will get pics posted later.
I dont want to install the windows until im sure whats going on.

Good thinking.  I'm curious to see the pics.

I went to take pics last night and answered my own question as I tried to fit the pieces to show the gap.
I was originally just laying the trim piece across like a straight edge.
But once I had the window in and layed it over the window and pushed it against the clips it kind of bows and conforms to the curve against the flat bottom side.
