yeah lately my driver's door handle has become real hard to wind. today i was wshing the car, and in the light i see alllll these friggen long vertical scratchs in the tint, which have come from the window sliding against the door horizontal window seal. this seal puts way too much pressure on the wondow sliding past it. not sure if i should try to re-align, or slice sum of the seal away (i don't like cutting things on car!). any idea's/ similar probs?

Ill second that biggest pain in the arse - especially the drivers door too - i reckon get out the wd40 - or even some olive oil alone the edges of the rubber should do the trick - let me know how you all go - im trying it too before it kills my windows!

hah, sum pretty embarrassing typos in the heading and in my 1st post. ah well. i might give the olive oil/ WD40 a go, and if no luck might have to get new seal, thanx for both tips.

Putting WD40 or olive oil on the window rubber will give you long oily streaks instead of long scratches....far better to get new rubbers and fix it properly.
