I just wanted to say that this IS NOT the problem seal in my car.
In mine, the seal that is on the shadowline trim has collapsed near the back of the window. This lets the window move slightly.
I don't know exactly but from the RealOEM pictures I think I'm talking about #51767164949 and #51767164950. Which they call a "Roof Frame Gasket".
Unless it's attached to the trim and sold with it.
Anyway, if you're in a warm climate then the same tubing inside the seal can work here. 3/16" is the size tubing you're looking for.
You will not be able to use Dack's trick in conjunction with mine. It will pinch the window and it will not close all the way.
Also you have to make sure the window goes all the way up. This will put more pressure on it and it can hang up. Being in a warm climate reduces this because the tube is more pliable.
You'll want to lubricate the tube heavily. It's about a 3' push to reach the end of the gasket and that is quite a bit of friction.
