My seal does the same thing. I also noticed a dent in my fender with NO damage around it. Anyone else have that issue?

My window freezes hard to the seal and won't roll down, I'm sure me trying to force it down to get a smoke is not helping the seal. Is this the issue being talked of in this thread. I was thiking of coating the seal with Vaseline?

Go to your favorite honda dealer and get a tube of shinetsu.
This stuff is top notch and should solve your issue and use it to
Treat all the rubber seals.. Small tube, pricey stuff.. But it will
Last you a long time.

Finally happened to mine -- I'm heading into the dealer next week to see how/if they can handle the 'folding seal' issue. Hopefully they've seen the issue before.

Mine has been doing the opposite, dragging the rubber down into the window slot when I roll down the window. Makes a super loud screeching noise.

Roll it up, rubber comes back, all is quiet.
Granted it did that after freezing rain and I haven't noticed it since.

I'm seeing this as well. No extra wind noise but about one time out of twenty the window won't roll back up all the way after I get in the car. It seems to settle in after I hit the window up switch.

I had a dent in my front fender driver side when I bought mine. Was a transport issue

I took my car to a dent spot and they said they can get it out for $99 + 15% mil disc. I'm going back there next Sat.

mine does this when the weather begins to hit in the 30's. when it's warmer, the window scrolls to the top on its own. i get what you mean though, sometimes i'll hit the scroll button and it'll scroll up that half inch or so for confirmation that it's sealed.

My window would pinch the rubber seal and fold it up. Took it to the dealer last weekend and they replaced the window seal. But the "Buzzing" window switches are "normal" lol

Finally made it into the dealer and they said that although they couldn't reproduce the rattling shifter or the passenger side window 'auto' up problem they would do those TSBs anyway. But I'm disappointed they had never heard or seen the problem with the driver's side window pinching the seal when rolling up all the way. The reply from them was basically, 'lets wait and see what happens'. Not sure if they are expecting the car to heal itself.. But it isn't anything more than a quirk at the moment. I'm not terribly concerned that it will get worse but also not terribly impressed with the response either.

Mine had that issue on both sides. The front got so bad that it was pulling the seal apart

I'm onto driver door seal number two. First one was leaking water when I washing it, so was replaced. Not long after that I noticed an increase in wind noise from the area, so they have replaced it again.

Both sides did it on mine. So be sure to look at the other side. I got both mine replaced
