Does anyone have an issue with the panels having a gap between the 1/4 glass and the felt wiper on the panel....both of mine have a gap toward the rear of the glass....Drivers side is HUGE...1"

If you’re careful maybe a heat gun and flexing might close it . First remove the panel, then heat the backside while flexing . While still flexed let cool . But it’s risky

I just thought isnt there a shoulder or a part that shoves downward . It holds the top tightly to the window

A drawing of the detail . The plastic interior panel is black, car is yellow, and glass is blue . But you can see a shoulder that holds the top of the panel. Be certain it’s in correct. Yeh it’s a phone sketch sucks but you get the idea

I think the leg is too long or in the wrong place wont fit over the frame correctly. Thinking of trimming it a little and see what happens

I don’t think you have it on right. It’s a little hard to get it over the body panel and through the window crank but I think that’s the problem. Look at the lip on the inside of the panel. That goes over the body panel by the window.
