Actually, that's no longer the case. Ours is virtually identical to the
original profile. In fact, the one we ship 95% of the time is actually
better than original because it uses an aluminum clip like the other 3
sides do, so you don't have to glue it. We are the only ones with this
version. Very infrequently, if we run out of these (we have to import
them ourselves) we have to substitute one that lacks the clip (so you
have to glue it) until our next shipment arrives, but this is very rare.
In either case the seal is far superior to what most vendors ship, which
is just an extra length of poptop seal (nothing like the original flat
seal).
------------------------

but isn't the original seal a one piece whereas the replacements are
two pieces? (side-back-side and a front seal) Wouldn't it be possible
to get a "original" one piece seal?
