interesting window problem
Well for the last 2 weeks my driver window has been giving me problems opening. Today I pulled the panel to look for the cause. Well, with the panel off, no more down trouble with the window.Upon inspection I found that the inner window seal has the felt like materal worn off an inch from the rear of the seal and a half inch at the front of the seal.This seems to be putting a bit of friction against the window causing my problem which stops the thing from opening without stopping part of the way down. Now for my ?. what can I do to make the rubber less sticky? Of course I don't want to grease up the windows by putting a messy rubber lube on the seal. Is there a window cleaner that would make the glass more slippery to stop it from being so diffacult sliding against the rubber seal,or do I need to replace the seal? I don't see where the seal will come off very easy,nor know how the new one will install. thanks rich
