trunk weather stripping is permanent now. looks good.
now....I need some MAJOR help from all you guys still following this blog. I'm a bit frustrated with the rear glass rubber. its not working right. the top of the window is not sealing up right with the lip on the body. its barely hanging on there. I know there is supposed to be a caulking that goes above it, but this is a bit much if you ask me.
The locking bead also will not stay in the channel. it just falls right out. I can push the rubber up some but then it barely fits on the window itself. when I push it up...the locking strip still will not stay.
I am out of ideas, other then the gasket is just not made right. I plan on talking to steele tomorrow because this is just not feeling right. I'm gonna have water all over the back of my car if I leave it as is.
the bottom of the seal is sitting fine and glass is in its channel and locking strip fits great.
it kinda fits in the top left and right corners, but then near the middle of the top of the window it droops down and looks like crap and doesn't seem like it will work at all and it certainly wont lock in place.
i'm kinda bummed you guys....help.
