i installed this window several months ago and now seems this spot is bulging down and pulling away from the glass. Anyone know a possible reason?

I seem to remember in this video he was mentioning that. Or was it during install?...

I watched this video today, twice (not to mention months ago when I did the install) and I don't see anything to do with my issue? This bulge was not there when I first installed but came gradually after months.

The couple of times that I helped friends with that type of bulge has been that the bead lock strip was not completely seated or started to pull away and it allowed the seal to distort.

Good to know. Thank you. I had screwed up the chrome on the strip in one place and was going to replace anyway.
