<<  So here's the question: once this rubber is installed, should it be 
      kind of wavy, to accomodate the bend it will undergo when placed 
      against the body? Or, have I stretched it too much? Or, will it 
      tighten back up in a few days?
      Any useful insight appreciated.
      Thanks,

The bottom rubber blade shouldn't be wavy, or at least none I've done were.
Make sure you have the orientation right. The word "front" or "back" is often
cast into the rubber mould. It won't seal right if it's backwards. If it is on
correctly then about all you can do is try it and perhaps it will sort itself
out on the car. If you get it all together and find then that you have to
start over, THEN it's a windsceam!
