    Hey All.

    So the Driver's side Window Belt needed to be replace (see pic below). Easy job to do. OEM Part was $50 plus tax.

    Here's my dilemma see the video below - seems like the window as it goes up and down buckles the door card? Something doesn't seem right. I doubt this is normal.

    Any insights? Anyone dealt with this before.

    Ask any questions.

    Thanking you in advance.

    The window glass should slide inside black plastic/rubber tracks that keep it in alignment. That belt piece is really just meant to keep water/dust out of the inside of the door but should have no bearing on the alignment of the glass.

    @2015WhiteOR I get that.

    I did noticed that the rubber dust shield also gets suck into and out of the door - which leads me to believe why the other piece failed......

    Does NOT happen on the passenger's side.

    Record another video of the glass actually coming up through the slot. In your original video only you know what is happening because you already saw the context. When you are filming for others, always show more time.
