Driver Upper Window Seal
I know this has been discussed previously, but there's so many different answers, and opinions on this.
My FRS upper driver window seal is "rolling" when the window rolls up. Besides replacing the part, I've done everything else. Cleaning, greasing, lubing...still have the same issue. A lot of wind noise on the highway too. Now, my question: Is the only part needing to be replaced the upper seal (part number SU003-01634) or is there more involved? Like window adjustment/realignment, initializing, and so on... Also, did the BRZ have the same issue? If so, what was the fix? Same seal? Does anyone have the part number for that seal? Thank you all in advance! |

I'm pretty positive that replacing the seal will only make the problem come back. The root of the problem is that the window is not aligned properly and causing the seal to roll up.

Is there a photo of what this looks like? Mine is slightly off, too.

There are temporary ways to resolve it (such as lubing the seal) if you catch it soon enough but it does not get rid of the root cause and has to be redone periodically.

My BRZ has the same issue. Anyone has link to TSB? It would be interesting read, if it has any info about window realignment.

Here is the FRS one: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...1&d=1409711423 You will see that stabilisers have to be changed. This is the step I think some dealers skip. NOTE: This does not mention the rubber seal but the change in stabilisers seems to fix the issue.

@Bamsterman if your car is under warranty, have them replace it. I had mine dealer replace it and new part looks to be thicker and smoother.

Either way, I believe the dealer should use the newest part. If you want to temporarily fix the issue, I have a solution.. I tried and it worked. Use the matte-type tape that has very smooth finish. Clean the affected weather strip and apply the tape where it contacts window glass. As long as it sticks to the rubber, you're good to go. It's going to look a bit funny when you open door/roll down window, but at least the rubber isn't going to roll when window is closed. Try it and let me know.

Here's why the seal rolls up.
1. early 13 MYs window index was 2 cm so, with each door open/close the window rubs through the top of the seal. Both door switches must be replaced with updated ones set to index only 1 cm. 2. Window is too tight. Requires alignment to ease it out a little. Not trivial. I've spent a great deal of time getting familiar with how the mechanism 'likes' to be aligned.
