I'm on my first build so no experience talking here, but I think the idea is to use 2 strips, one to form the channel and one to do the actual sealing. The first is throwaway, the second permanent (relatively speaking). They should be the same width so the second will fit in the channel formed around the first. But their heights are different with the first being approximatey 1/2 the height of the second. That way the second is compressed when the hatch is closed.
