I put the rear quarter window in last night and it fits nicely against my new reproduction door seal. The profile of the seal has a wider area on the outside that seals against the outside of the window frame as it moves upwards in its track. See the first photo.
According to the Installation Manual this seal gets glued in at the inside edge of the stainless steel retainer and then folded in on the outside edge.
Tonight I'm putting in the front vent window and it seals a lot differently. See the second photo. The entire cast frame is mounted solidly in the door so it compresses the seal by pushing against the side. To me it looks like the profile is wrong. I'm afraid this will push the seal away from outer edge of the retainer. I'm thinking I may have to trim the wide part of the seal away.
Is there something wrong with my new seal? Is the profile supposed to be different between the front and the back?
