On my 68 I replaced the rubber and now the window will not close. Any one have this problem?

Just wont close and seal. I am sure it is going to leak water.

It is almost closed and if you push the front it will close.

I had to trim a little off of the vent seal or it wouldn't lay down where it joins the straight vertical seal. Once I got the seal to lay flat I just helped the window closed and left it for a few days. It now has a "memory" point and closes perfectly. The new seals are not exactly like the originals, but pretty close.

Tim C, where did you trim. on the verticle seal or the bottom horizontal seal?
