Vent window seal help (1 Viewer)

[beneharris]

I'm not having luck getting my vent windows to close now that my seal is in. Wanted to see if anybody had a suggestion on getting these in easier. Also, am I orienting them correctly?



I'm having trouble getting the corners lined up.





Any suggestions? Am I doing anything way wrong?

You're probably doing as well as you can with the weather seals you've got. I just went out to examine mine just for a comparison. I replaced my passenger wing window gasket when OEM gaskets were still available. I replaced the driver's side in 2012 with an aftermarket. The OEM is a perfect fit but, like yours, the aftermarket gasket draws up a bit at the corners. The seal is fine (actually a little tight against the glass) so there is no leak when it's raining; it just doesn't fit as well as the OEM gasket. I'm guessing that's your problem as well.

Thanks for the tip. I got these from Racer65, I had heard good things about them. I'll keep playing with them, and maybe shoot him a PM to see if he has any suggestions.

I'm hoping I can do mine with the doors on the truck.
