Window seal

[Daniel Brunner]

Hi
I ordered these window seals from rockauto. They seal perfectly but when it comes to roll the window down I have to crank it so hard that I‘d rip all the internal linkages apart.
I already lubricated them (pics older) but sadly no solution.
Anyone had this before?

That looks like it should be turned about 180 .
In other words , slide it down the seal trim piece /holder as opposed to stuffing it in.

My thread shows how to install them correctly... here>>
Broke my 7UP Pop Machine today....(Superbird Restoration)

(yours is backwards...btw.) and you can't "slide them down" on at least some of the detail strips. Definitely can't on a 70 Roadrunner, at least not mine.

Thanks!
But I‘ll never get them off savely. This glue holds a heavy duty metal shelf on a concrete wall by its own. And I‘ve missing parts in the window channel.
I think sanding them down or cutting with a hot wire will do the job too

GLUE.. they use no glue to install. Guess you have nothing to lose now if you used glue..
