I'm going to try cutting the seal until I can get the part. Sue explained how easy it is to take the door panels off and take a looksee at what's really going on in there. Unfortunately the VX is on jack stands right now. I took the rear rims off to plastidip them. My first try, I had some peeling....then I ran out of daylight...then locked my keys in the VX. It was time to quit for the day. haha.I'm taking a second try and so far so good. It's cold and rainy here though, so until that project is finished, I'm stuck. I really want to see if I can tell that the binding is indeed being caused by the rubber guide and nothing else. My mechanic told me he had to remove all the door guts again to replace that, but Sue says that's not true. I have lost faith in my mechanic and I will try to tackle it myself. I've been trying to get Merlin's place on the phone since Friday to order the part anyway, but no luck yet. So, I probably won't have this fixed for a couple more weeks.
