Driver Window Gasket / Trim got stuck...

[JoeB]

No idea how it happened, but I noticed some white dust on the driver side door panel under the window this morning on the way to work, then realized the rubber window gasket had become trapped inside the window well for a section. Now the rubber is a bit malformed and loose. Is there anything I can do to reform and/or get it tight to the frame again?

Sorry for the blurry pic, was in a rush to get to work.

Thanks everyone. LOVE THIS TRUCK!

Try pushing the window all the way down. Then, work the rubber seal back into its channel by hand, starting from one end. Once it's seated, rub a small amount of silicone spray on the seal to help it slide and reshape. If it's still loose or won't stay put, your dealer should be able to fix or replace it under warranty.

Thanks so much. I got it back in place easily, but the rubber is malformed. Silicone spray is a brilliant idea.

I take it these particular seals are not meant to be glued to the frame?
