window seal?

My driver side window seal on the top rolls and curls up after window is rolled up... I have to push out on the window to allow is to close properly. Anyone else having this problem? Tried to search threads but found everything but window seal thread come up. I can take pics if you need to see what I'mtalking about.

Thanks,
Mike

If it's letting water in the dealership should replace the seal. You can try complaining and getting the seal replaced just because it's annoying but it seems to just be a little quirk.

Mine did it and went away over time, no issues keeping water out of the cabin after a year of ownership. Some have tried a lubricant to allow for some sliding with success. I haven't touched mine.

Same issue. Strongly debating gluing it in place to keep from rolling up as bad as well as lubricating. Maybe try 3M weather strip sealant seeing as I have a whole tube left over from the gasket replacement.

If its leaking get it replaced
If its just aesthetically annoying you might try this \/

Rubbed the "seal"(for lack of a better word) down with tire shine
then cleaned with interior cleaner
fixed the problem

6 months later the problem hasn't come back I use Griots interior cleaner on the strips about once a month. Don't think brand of cleaner matters but griots smells nice

note: It did leave streaks of tire shine bleeding from the rubber on the window for about a week. Just used microfiber cloth to wipe the window down every time I got in
