914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Outer door seal
Posted by: ppetion Oct 30 2011, 01:50 PM
After installing the new outer door fuzzy from 914rubber, the window becomes hard to roll up and down, at one time the seal came off the track as I try to put it down.. if i spray the window with Windex it comes up and down as it should. any ideas?

The only thing I could even begin to think of is, maybe something else got out of alignment during the process causing it to rub against it to the point of pushing it up, but when going down also??

Yep both ways

Have you had this door all apart previously? If so, maybe you didn't get something back in place.
Were talking about that fuzzy strip on both sides of the window, correct?

I don't know. Maybe the window is tilting out too far and rubbing?
Does that nut on the bottom of the door towards the rear adjust the window or is there something maybe up with that???

I have the same problem. The rubber grabs the glass and pops out of the groove. I solved it by removing the rubber and living without it. I know, not much of a fix... I will try again after I get it painted. BTW, it happens on both doors.

correct, Everything is back in place. The window is straight. As I mentioned, if i spray the window it is fine. The rubber is grabbing on the window. I also made sure that the window is clean.

I never touched that screw, you mean the one holding the rear rail? will check that later.

Soaking the rubber in a bucket of Armor All may do the trick. I havn't tried yet.

I will make sure I have some Windex in the glove compartment. or beer may do it

Maybe that will help.

Don't use ArmourAll.....
Try something like Wurth Rubber Care spray on the rubber part (not the fuzzy one) instead of ArmourAll - since the latter gets sticky over time. Most of us that used it on our interior vinyl back-in-the-day later had sticky vinyl.
Otherwise, contact Mikey914/Mark W. for help - he made them, & would be glad to give tips I'm sure!

Wax your windows, in and out.

Mine grabbed and pulled when first installed. Spray wax does a good job of fixing it. Over time it won't be an issue. There just grabbing because it's fresh rubber.Posted by: ppetion Oct 30 2011, 08:52 PM

Until you drive a couple of times with the window down... Your elbow will make it come loose too...
