Had the same thing. Luckily I am still under warranty and had both sides replaced. They've been perfect for almost a year now.

Known issue. The easy/cheap solution seems to be to Armorall the seals once a week to lube them up so they don't stick to the window.

For FR-S, there is a TSB for this.
This happened to me also and mine was fixed under warranty. Putting oil didn't help for me because the rubber was already deformed. |

But even if it does, wouldn't that be better than a pinched window seal? |

the TSB i believe does not apply to this seal, but to the outer seal at the bottom of the window.

I had this same issue on my first BRZ. It was pretty early on, though--maybe 10K miles. Dealer replaced it, no problem. Try a different dealer and act super nice?

Anyone who got this done by the dealer, how long did they keep the car for?

If it really bugs you, you can fix it yourself for $100, which is the cost of the part.
