Thanks, will check into that.

Seems to be working now most of the time, esp. when I hold the window up button until it closes, as opposed to single-pull-then-let-go. I will try to trim or squeeze the top some. I'm thinking I may add a piece of thin acrylic or hard plastic to the inside of the window edge, to give the rubber piece more stability and better 'sealing' of the door window.


Regardless, this is much cheaper than buying a new window (>$400) just to get the weatherstrip.

Awesome! But yea, you shouldn't need to hold the button to make it "fully" seat at the top. It should do it on its own with the auto up 1 touch.
