Windscreens & seals

Pauliil1948's thread on windscreens has got me thinking about an issue I have. When I got the car the front screen fitted fine . I had a new screen fitted and they had trouble fitting it . My impression was that the screen was to big .
I'm not sure if I have this right but I now believe the holes in the front of the car for the screen are all the same size ,some cars came with a smaller screen and a fat seal, others came with a larger screen and a skinny seal ? If this is correct I'm thinking I now have a larger screen and a fat seal. The last windscreen co bought out a few screens , same part #( they came to my house ) and I made myself a real pain in the arse comparing them all but they were all pretty much the same, and you could only get one side or the other ,but not both , to seat in properly, which is how it remains now . There is only this one screen available in NZ so I'm stuck with that . The problem is when I look for seals no one says if it's fat or skinny ,just that it fits all years, so , where can I get a skinny seal assuming I have got it right .
