Driver's side window seal/door seal - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

KAB-FRS · 07-15-2012, 12:37 AM

I just took mine to the dealer due to the fact that every time my driver's side window goes up it folds the seal up a little and it is starting to look out of shape now.

They said they will replace it as soon as they get it but there is no ETA on the part since they don't stock any parts for the cars yet.

I want to know if I'm the only one with this issue right now.

Your not the only one, I noticed this today while opening the door at work.

Think this could be causing the wind noise at 65+ mph?

I'd like to see pictures myself - I don't think anything looks out of shape as is O.o

I had the car on the hwy today and at over 80mph i get wind noise

I've also noticed this. No abnormal wind noise.

This is also happening to me. No abnormal wind noise. Oddly between the chirping, tail light condensation and the buzzing shift knob, this bothers me the most.

Any pictures yet?

I don't have this problem but wondered if applying 303 or some type of protectant would provide a bit of lubricating effect to allow glass to slide freely on the seal surface.

My driver side window made some noise twice this week.

Same here. It's about a 3" area that grabs.
I don't think replacing the seal will do much. I think it goes much deeper than that. I think they will have to create a seal with a modified shape to compensate for improper design.
I took a quick video, you can barely see the area where it grabs.
