Thanks for the information, Phil. I will try your technique on the seal and report back. One other unrelated question, Phil....are the doors adjustable at all? I have a lot of road noise coming from the passenger side of the truck. The driver's side is quiet, but the passenger side sounds like the doors are not shut tightly. I spent a lot of time looking them over today in an effort to find a difference between the quiet side and the noisy side and did not find anything obvious. I did notice that the driver's side rear door "pops" open when I pull the handle to open it and the noisy side opens without a "pop" like it is not as tightly closed. I really thought something was wrong with the tight side, but because it is quiet, think it might be better than the other side. If I should post this problem as a separate thread, please let me know and I will. Thanks in advance!Hi Ron,
Checked and my seals are still nice and strait. What I did was force the vertical strip down as well as push the bulge in,,,This forced the end that goes below the bottom seal to travel downward just a tad. Seems to work for me. Both sides are still good.
Just use your thumb and pull the seal in a downward manor starting at the top and work your thumb all the way to the lower glass seal. Might work for you too.
Looks like the manufacturer that makes the molded seal has a bit of a quality issue
