TRD CAI Question

I just got a TRD CAI from a fellow TW member and had a question. I was installing the weather stripping seal around the part that pushes up against the inside for the finder firewall where the air enters the filter housing and the rubber weather striping does not go all the way around the oval intake hole. Is that the way it is suppose to be? There is about an inch gap between the two ends, and it also doesn't really want to say on there very well. Just wondering if this is normal or if I'm doing something wrong before I go get elbow deep in the install.

Thanks for the help!

 

a picture would help

 

Yes, thats how they all are.

 

Thanks! I'm going to install it today.

 

Mine was like that as well. I will be selling it soon to get some sliders.
