: Help With Door Weatherstrip

Hi....

I just bought a new set of door weatherstrips. I bought the Metro brand since I had such good results with their roof rail seals. However, after installing these door seals, I find that the seal is so tight against the glass that the seal 'rolls' into the door at the front when you run the window down. The original seals had a piece of metal encased in the rubber to prevent this, but the Metro seals do not.

Anybody else experience this? Anybody have a solution other than deep six these & buy a different brand?

Thanks!

I bought the same stuff for mine, and had the same problem. The only thing that I have been able to do so far is use silicone spray on the rubber. It seems to have stopped this from happening (for now), but, I am also interested in what other people post.

Well, I ended up placing a small amount of DC4 compound (silicone based) on the seal & it worked fine.
