Hello, How do the flocked seals get installed on the chrome strip on the rear portion of the window? Is there a trick to sliding the seals down in the trim piece or do they get pushed in from the long edge? I have already ruined a couple pairs. It seems the flocking starts to come off super easy in chunks ruining the piece. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. Would love some helpfull install tips! Here is the part in mind: https://www.detroitmuscletechnologi...arter-window-leading-edge-seals-flocked/Jeff

I experienced the same issue....the flocking material is very easily damaged by any contact with the door or guide. Not sure it is a problem with your install. I believe it is a material/durability issue. I was pretty bumbed out to see this after a couple of times running the windows up and down. Not sure how long the originals lasted.

Do you recall how you installed them? Don't remember exact steps.The install into the stainless was pretty simple. By the time I had my door and quarter glass adjusted (not a simple process) the flocking was damaged on both sides. Maybe the trick is using old seals to make the glass the adjustments....then install the new seals after glass is 99% adjusted.

Go to www.moparconnectionmagazine.com. Under "Tech" header go to the "Restoration section" on page two there is a step by step "How to" with detailed pictures on restoring these using the currently available felt gliders. It will save you a whole lotta grief with these parts.

In re-reading your post I may have thought you meant the glass sliders into the vent wing. If you mean the rubber felt covered chrome strip seal I just lube the channel with WD 40 and slide the seal in from the bottom. Hopefully these will help you get on down the road.
