I didn't find anything on the search but I'm sure it has been answered before.
I pulled the rubber out of the chrome track at the rear of my driver side window. I can't get it back in without messing it up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Does in slide in from one end or do you have to compress it to get it back in the track? I even tried using some soap to lube it up. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I did this little job awhile back. IIRC, it looked like the factory intentionally dented the channel a little bit to hold the seal in place. I straightened out these dents a bit before putting in the new seal. I used a silicon lube on the seal and a wall paper seam roller as my "blunt object". Start at the top or bottom and use the seam roller to press the seal into place. I think it took me about 15 minutes to do one door-glass-to-targa-pillar seal. You could carefully "dent" the channel to hold the new seal in place but it seemed like such a tight fit that I did not do this.
