Rubber seals on 8.5
« on: 16 February 2025, 22:09 »
Hi all. I was washing my car today and noticed the seals next to the B pillar are not finished in the best way. The one in the picture is the worst, but all 4 from each window that sit next to the B pillar are of a similar look. Are others with 8.5’s seeing the same?  Thanks

Mine are fine, maybe roll down the window and carefully manipulate it a little with your fingers, it looks a tad wonky compared to mine, maybe it’s not seated fully into the recess.
