Plus I trimmed back the leading edge of the rubber so it wouldn't try to pinch the fabric. If the nylon piece is much longer or taller it binds with metal on the other half of the window frame when closed together(top up).

Heh Spider, how is this fix holding up? I am considering doing the same thing and eliminate going thru all the BS at the dealer... Metal is starting to poke thru but no damage to underside of top yet..
