1/4 window seals

What is the best way to install 1/4 window seals?

The seal on the windows just slide out and then back into place. When putting them back in, go slowly. If you kink the metal in the seal edge, it will make it hard to slide the seal into place.

The one I started with is wider then the track. I cannot get it too slide due to the seal being wider and thicker then the track. It wants to buckle up in the middle.

You can spray them with silicone. Don't use anything oil based like WD 40 etc. The oil base will make the rubber too soft. I have had to use a screw driver and slightly widen the stainless part they slide into. You need them to be tight or they will come out of place when the quarter glass is rolled down with the door closed and door window up.

Okay I will try that. Thanks

Wanted to add; don't put the screwdriver in the stainless side to side. If you do and pry you will leave dimples in the stainless. Wrap some tape around the tip of the screwdriver. Slide the screwdriver down, the way the gasket goes, into the stainless. You can spread the stainless a little without causing dimples.

That worked great, thanks
