Do you mean the part where the window goes into? Please post an update when you decide. My window, right where it begins to curve, doesn't fully get locked into the t-top and I would like to fix that. On the highway it sounds like both my windows are slightly rolled down which in a way they are haha.

My car originally had the rubber ones, but I decided to go with the plastic ones for the replacement.

I like them much better than the rubber ones I had, they don't sag, no chance of tearing. Plus I think they just look better too.
