Hey Guys=2C
=20
Thanks for the quick responses so far. In trying to keep the message short =
I did skip mentioning the rope trick. Did it but not as easy as I've read a=
number of times. And because the outer portion of the seal just won't sett=
le down on BOTH sides it got me wondering about windshield/seal variables. =
The seal is definitely buried on the body ridges and nothing else makes sen=
se in my mind. Was really wondering if anybody else hit this issue.=20
