Hey guys!

Dumb question time..... I just replaced my window regulator.... But am Still trying to get the window set correctly...... I noticed with the old regulator.... And the new one the outside window molding gets "sucked in" the door when you put the window down....slowing the window and stressing the motor.....

Is this a window fitment issue... Or is the molding shot?

If I have to replace the outside molding (window seal?) where can I get one? I think
Pelican may have the correct one.... But it is over $200.... I can't see buying a used one, (if I can find one!) that may be in worse shape then my OEM....

Dumb idea.... Has anyone tried "trimming" the seal to keep it from binding?

Thanks!
Fred
