Hey all, I've got a problem I've been trying to solve for a while and not having any luck. I replaced all the weatherstripping on my 89 GT a couple years ago, and it all went well except I've got a pretty massive gap between the window and the outer door belt weatherstrip/dew wipe.

Has anyone else run into that? I've tried the window adjustments in the door but nothing seems to make a difference. The new weatherstrips were supposedly NOS OEM.

Thanks

-Actually, nevermind. Turns out my door skin was ever so slightly bent. I was able to gently squeeze it toward the inner structure with my hands and get it back where it was supposed to be. I'm guessing I bent it slightly when I was replacing the window runner bushings a while back.
