Just wondering if this is just a bad design, cheap rubber, or side dependent.
I just had my new seal start rolling on itself (passenger side) again. It was replaced less than six months ago. It's not leaking, so I've decided to leave it. I don't want the dealer to have the car again and it seems pointless as it'll just work for a couple months and start all over.
So, how are we looking? What side seal have you had issues with. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, it's this:
This is a friend of mine's car.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with oils coming out of the rubber (even if it's synthetic). My seal got a little tacky when it started rolling. Might sound crazy, but there are threads about the steering wheel getting sticky randomly and then just going away (mine did this). I currently have a piece of 4 guage amp wire (hidden when the window is up, so it doesn't look bad) to hold the seal in the correct place. In the last two days, the "sticky" feel of the seal has gone away again. Still going to leave the wire in there for another couple weeks and see what happens. Hopefully, it's like the steering wheel and just goes away. Based on how it felt today, I'm beginning to think it might.
