It will give a little. Examine the fit again. When done, road test.

It sounds incredibly dangerous: shattered glass in the driveway. In fact, it is so easy that it is obvious why the problem arises in the first place. A bit of careless handling distorts the window frame and causes the air leak. These cars are quiet when properly adjusted.

That is what i tried to do, this thing is strong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


anyhow, here are the pictures

First, Driver's door. everything seems ok when closed, although the door has the 'saggy' feeling when open....






The corner i don't like as seen below



seals seem ok, a little cracking but they don't seem damaged, but again i don't have a properly sealing mercedes to compare with. what do you think?







Finally, Hinges so that you can teach me how to align these if i need to...



Passenger door, looks good on the surface



I don't like the corner though...



What do you guys think? seals, alignment? both?

Thanks,
