I also purchased the tape from Chevy Duty, I got one for the vent windows
and one for the doors. I couldn't remember which one went with which, so I
tried one and the window frame on the bottom of the door glass would just
fall right off, so I looked at the other and it is slightly thicker. It
went on pretty tight when pushing it on by hand, and I can't make it move
when trying to pull it back off. Is this tight enough? (I've heard people
using a special tool and hammering them on) So you might try a different
thickness of the tape. Also, someone told me to use linseed oil when
putting in the lockstrip for the raer windows in the cab. It stayed
lubricated, but I forgot to wipe some of it off which had run down the cab.
A few days later I could hardly get it off, I had to rub on it extremely
hard for hours.
