B-pillar weatherstrip
I recently bought all new CRC made in USA weatherstrip for the A-pillar, B-pillar, and targa. On both sides of the car the window doesnt seal to the very bottom of the B-pillar. I messed with window adjustment for 4 hours today and still cant get it to seal properly, any ideas? I adjusted the position and the tilt of the window.
Thanks,
Colton

The crc is much harder than the original latex weatherstrips. Is the issue that its not compressing enough to seal? Could be that or you just need to keep going with adjustments until you get that sweet spot. It does take some time getting it right due to the curvature of the window glass.

Hang in there, it can be a PITA. Spent a total of 8 hours adjusting the passenger window on mine last year and had to walk away from it multiple times. ended up having to adjust the weatherstrip retainer to get it to seal properly.

Well 6 hours later I got it to fit very close to perfect! I was able to get it close by adjusting the window, then I opened up the holes in the trim to pull it towards the window at the bottom. Seems to have sealed up well I just need to get some silicone grease to protect the weatherstrip!
Thanks guys!
