window weatherstripping

The weatherstripping on both windows of my 92 t top car has the same malformation. At the front, top of the window, the weatherstripping is curled in for 1/2 to 3/4 inch so there is nothing for the window to seal against. I haven't looked for this on other t top cars yet. Does this sound familiar to anyone and if you fixed it, how? I'll probably have to do all of the t top weatherstripping, but I'd like to get through the winter first.

Re: window weatherstripping

I have the same deformity on mine as well but I honestly can't say if that came from the factory or not simply because my car is like, 20 years old. And I've only owned it for 4.

I tried rubbing a little brake fluid on those spots but they're curled under pretty well. Maybe it'll soften up a little.

Re: window weatherstripping

My passenger side weatherstrip folded under on a hot day. When the door closed, the black triangle at the front of the window grabbed the weatherstripping and curled it in for about 3 inches. I was never able to get it out. So, I just replaced all my ttop weatherstripping. It should not fold under.

I know it shouldn't. I just didn't know if it was a common tendency.
