Got a whodunit for y'all. Need the collective Mystery Inc. here to help me solve this one.
So I just replaced the old weatherstripping on the windshield pillars. I think I installed it right. But I have noticed that there's a small gap on the driver's side window between the top of the glass and the car's roof.
So can you guys tell from the pics what the problem is? If not, here are a few more key pieces of info.
1. Even when I have the door ajar, and roll the window up as far as it can go, its highest distance is still about the same as when I roll it up closed. Could the problem be the glass is a little stuck down inside the door? Could the problem be the glass is actually just too short?
2. I haven't replaced the weatherstripping on the T Tops yet. Could that bridge the gap?
3. The other window has virtually no gap, and the same new weatherstripping.
4. The weatherstripping seems a little jumbled near the top of the pillar. Can you guys tell if that's the case?
Anyway, thanks for the help. Will be interested to hear what you guys think is the issue!
The top weatherstrip looks a bit rough-
Is the top of the window parallel with the top from front to back?
I'd say a large portion could be fixed with a glass adjustment per the AIM.
It looks to me the top corner of the window is running over top of the new A pillar weatherstrip and up against the stainless retainer instead of in the channel in the rubber. Try adjusting the top of the stainless weatherstrip retainer trim out slightly at the top or the window in so the glass rides in the rubber weatherstrip channel.

Window won't close all the way!
