Replacing the rubber around the 1972 door windows
Has anyone replaced the rubber around the door windows of my 72 and now it is harder than it should be to roll up and down the windows? I did grease the track which I'm sure isn't the problem but have to mention it. It seems like too much rubber friction. I believe I installed the rubber correctly. Does it get better or is there a solution?

I had this same problem. You need to make sure the track and everything is seated properly then make sure your track bar on the window is correctly centered so the window goes up straight.
It takes time to break in so help it up and down for a bit.

Not sure how to adjust any tracks. I loosened the vent window track side, but it is but it seems to fit only one way reinstalling it. I also removed the window regulator, but I put it exactly the same place it was before by the ghost markings from the four bolts. The most friction seems to be the two along the bottom. Those two seemed to be over an 1/8" long on the rear crowding that area with the rear/top piece. Both sides have the same issue. It would be nice to find good directions or videos. None had everything needed and one guys video was glueing them which seems like horrible advice.
