Product review (4 stars): Installation Tips
When I got this gasket, I nearly returned it because is was wrinkled and bent out of shape. The gasket is shipped twisted into a figure eight shape to fit the shipping box. Mine was so badly wrinkled and bent that it would not fit flush onto the refrigerator door and make a good seal. As I was about to repack the gasket and return it, I noticed on the shipping box were instructions on how to fix the wrinkles. The instructions say to fill a casserole dish with water and place it on a stove burner. Turn the burner to high and wait for water to start bubbling. Adjust burner so the water doesn't get to a rolling boil. Once water is bubbling, place the wrinkled section of the gasket into the water for about 10 seconds. Remove the section and move on to another wrinkled section. Continue this process until the wrinkles and bends are gone.

Another method that is reported to work is to simply lay it out in the warm sun for a few hours.

Also, it may be necessary to use a small rubber mallet to tap the seal into place.

I gave the gasket four stars because I bought it to try to stop condensation inside my refrigerator. After installing it, the condensation problem continues. However, my problem may be unrelated to the gasket. Also, it was a little more difficult to install than I anticipated (see above).
