I have received the 4th AC to replace the old Carrier unit. The other 3 had some moderate to severe damage and they were returned. I received the 4th one today and have a question about the roof seal around the opening.

There is a slight bow in the rear of the seal frame area when I place a straight edge across the opening. The center is about 1/8" high. Am I being paranoid considering the 3 previous units were damage or will the inside bracket and the 4 bolts pull the unit down adequately to seal the unit to the roof?

Any opinion or thoughts appreciated. Thanks

I don't think I would worry the bolts should torque down the air conditioner enough to make a tight seal.

I agree with above. I was amazed how much the seal compresses and forms to the roof.
