Cinnamon 75 Duster \
Had another go at the driver door seal. Didn't completely remove the guide bar this time. Easier to just position it inward and the regulator plate can sit down far enough for the top of the glass to clear the seal. Put about an 1/8" bead of clear RTV on the door this time. After too many times of remove and replace, hardly any screws tightened. I wanted to add a couple anyway, so now all the center ones are closer together than original. I marked the regulator nut positions with a sharpie, so all went back together easy.
Something I noticed last time I did this is how the parts in the second pic are supposed to work. The part on the window needs to grab the plastic piece on the door as it comes up. this pulls the black rubber part into the glass to seat it tight against the outer seal just as the window reaches the top.
