Re: top door rubber
If your stretch the rubber window scraper it will thin out enough to slip into the stainless trim piece. I would not use a lubricant as the rubber will just slip out again.

I got them in, I basically open up the ridge a tad and put it in, back on the car then took a flat screw driver and hit it with a hammer to put the crease tighter again, seems to workmanoa matt wrote:If your stretch the rubber window scraper it will thin out enough to slip into the stainless trim piece.
