[QUOTE="Jason_Charowsky, post: 1586735, member: 29506"] Sorry for no reply or pictures, I was going through a bunch of trial and error. The first photos show the reproduction weather stripping and just how it was not sitting right. Decent in the front but that seal just went away the closer it got to the end of the window. I was getting water through here. [ATTACH type="full" width="298px"]49411[/ATTACH] I ended up calling my local ford dealer and found that center piece for both sides down in Texas. Replaced the repop with the NOS one and the window sealed right up to it without making any more adjustments. The NOS weatherstripping was longer fatter and sturdier that the reprodcution one. I t also fit into the channel better and married up to the conjoining pieces on either side. [ATTACH type="full" width="300px"]49412[/ATTACH] You can kinda see ( sorry for not great photos) how now there is a lip that the window seals against. I water tested this and now I have no leaks. I still have some final tweaks on my windows to get them just perfect but the solution to my problem was to find a set of ford ones lol. | [/QUOTE]
