Re: window slot bowed, too wide, any fixes?

I asked for a photo earlier as I don't believe there is much you can do. Unlike newer vehicles the lower window felts/trim don't keep water out. They only serve to prevent the window from banging or scraping on the door and to keep the bigger pieces of debris from falling inside the door.

Since there was nothing electrical inside the door GM didn't waste money trying to keep water out of inside the door. They merely punched some holes so it could drain out and called it good enough.

Well they also put a seal under the interior door panels to keep the water from running out of the bottom of the door panels. As shown in this thread.

The window gap on my Burban's doors are all between 1 inch & 1-1/8".
