rear side window rubbers

[captain]

having a small prob with these rubbers i bought from m-machine, for a 1960 rear opening quarter window,rubber is far to tight,and not allowing the catch to shut,if you put them on (ARSE FOR ELBOW ) they are fine and window shuts and seals perfectly, but this leaves a rubber seal edge on the inside sticking out. any ideas ???

I had this issue! I warmed the rubber with hot water and pushed the window in while a mate made sure it was all inside and then he shut it and we left it for over a month and it was fine after that

thanks will give it a try, but i think there is too much strain on the delicate catches at this point, dont want to break them?

Got exactly the same issue on one of my side windows, will give this hot water method a go also and see how it goes.

I also use a hair dryer to warm rubber up to fit front and rear wind screen fillers haha
