I actually had more trouble with the rear window than the corners, in fact I changed from Chevyduty rubber to Steele to get the rear window in, as the Steele was softer and less bulky.

Sometimes the repop glass is larger than the original and they are a bear to put in with new weatherstrip rubber. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 236 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 236 | Thx Guy',
Problem solved. I went out the next day and started on the opposite window. The weatherstrip looked like it had a larger channel. Sure enough, the side that was giving me grief had a smaller channel(rear window seal). With the proper larger channel seal the windows went right in. Those kind of things really tick you off. I spent hours trying to get that bad one in.
