Tahoe window seals??

[bigfutz]

Nevermind. I found the nuts underneath the plastic trim. I loosened all 8 nuts and got the window positioned better, then tightened them up from the inside with the glass closed. Alas, it’s still not closing right - maybe the gas springs are pushing it out? But it’s just on the passenger side. Any ideas?

Mine has a gap as well, never could get it right. There are photos a few posts up, is that what yours is doing?

The gap I’m noticing is mechanical I think - the actual window doesn’t flush with the body on one side. I was attributing it to the hinge which seems to have some movement where it connects to the glass frame.

And yes, I believe I need to replace all the rubber back there. Maybe I should start with that, see how the window closes afterwards.

My investigation also originated with a sopping wet liner.

I’ll throw in one more question: What is the gray sticky goop on the floor bolts?

Not sure what the goop is, but I just put some black RTV back in those thread holes when I messed with the carpet.

Let us know if you find a fix on the hinges. I never could get mine to sit flush, either.

Here’s some pics of my problem. Driver side good. Passenger side bad.

Yep, looks the same as mine. Well, mine is a little closer in but same ballpark.

Get inside with a flashlight, see if there’s a gap between the top of the tailgate and bottom of the liftglass.

All I can suggest is shoving down on it while tightening the hinge bolts. It doesn’t work that well, but it’s all that I could ever figure out on mine.

Also, the silver latch on the glass is adjustable and does impact closure. Might as well play around with that.

[mention]east302 [/mention] I took out the lifters and got it to hang where I wanted it before retightening the bolts. No effect. I see wiggle between the hinge plate on the window side, but it’s not due to the bolts being loose; it’s almost like the metal in the window frame is weak right there.
