Window sweep help.

Looking for outer window sweep help. Have been battling these sweeps for a week and still can’t get them to sit correctly. Seems like the top lip that goes over the door does not sit right and the holes are nowhere near lined up. Have tried drilling them out but it does not seem to help. Also, once in place, the window will sit underneath the felt strips and push up on them when going up. Sorry about the bad description but just looking for any advice. Thanks.

Re: Window sweep help.

If your window drop too low when lowered it may the rubber stop that's fallen off over time. If so, this allows the window to lower about 3/4 inch too far. Most holes wont line up unless its the original sweep for that car. I just drilled new ones to match. If you miss one there can be quite a gap between two that may cause issues, but beyond this i'm not much help.
