Is it suppose to be glued or attached somehow? Here's a photo... 8154505-20140523_201702.jpg (54 downloads) 1970 Challenger, all aluminum 528 Hemi, HDK suspension, Tremec 5 speed manual

Is it suppose to be glued or attached somehow? Here's a photo... Is it a repro or original rear window seal? The Duster Demons do not get a seperate cover piece like the Dart you have pictured. Sort of looks like the seal isn't sitting right in the channel with the window so that is forcing the lip to stick up. Was the lip sitting ok before you put the headliner in. If so, maybe when you pulled the lip back to get the headliner tucked in, it pushed/moved the rubber/body-lip/glass joint out of place. If you have the rear window molding on, take if off and see what going on with the other side of that lip that sticking out. Maybe you will see something that doesn't look kosher.

I do not have the chrome trim on yet, heck I don't even think I have the chrome trim for the front and rear windows yet. The seal did not conform to the headliner very well before the rear window was installed, I was hoping the window would help it all sit right. When I pull on the seal a little bit from the inside of the car it seems to settle a little better. I will play around with it and try to figure it out. It's looking better but I think it will start to annoy me if it doesn't look factory soon.
