Side windows too tight? Replaced seals.

My daughter and I just replaced the seals on the door window and wing window on her '54 chevy pickup. We bought a kit from Classic Industries. It looks great now but we can barely roll the window up and down because its so tight. Did we miss a step? Does it losen up after time? Or does anyone have ideas on how to make the window roll up and down easier.

From reading other posts, it sounds like it just takes time for the rubber to compress and settle in. I would give it a while.

get some ivory bar soap and apply it to the contact areas. You can also use a dry silicone made by 3M 08897 Dry Silicone. Its great on window seals and doesn't leave a residue
