Hello Everyone,

I'm looking to replace the Pillar Post weatherstripping on my 87 vert.
With the 1987 vert, there are apparently two models of the same year.
Pre-10/1987 and After 10/1987.
Mine was built 2/1987 so I purchased the Pre weatherstripping.
Everything fits fine but here is the question. These post weatherstrips have a lip. It looks like the window is supposed to ride up the inside of the lip / channel but I dont see how they can. Is this true or does the window just squish against the weatherstrip. I dont know if other years have this lip thing.
The old weatherstrips were original so I couldn't use them as a model to follow. To old and crushed.

I'll try to post a pic what i mean.
I didnt know if someone on here has the same vert / model year that I do.

Thank and sorry for the WTF are you talking about question.

The windows usually just squish o the outside of the weatherstrip.

A picture would really help in this situation. You may need to adjust your windows.
 
So is this how the window is supposed to go against the seal or under that lip?
with the old seal, the window did go under but with this new seal there is no way and the window is adjusted.

There is nothing to bang in. The seal is seating all the way in.
If the window is just supposed to squish against that lip then everything is fine. If the window is supposed to go under the lip of the weatherstripping then i have no idea. hahha Everything looks aligned. I have to be doing something incorrect.
