Default Happen to anyone!? Rubber Seals caught!?

So this just happen to me, while doing my daily driving to work, And i always park in a public parking garage i rolled my window down got my ticket, so far so good i find parking WHOOT! and as i roll up my window it seems slower than usual, i look over to my left shoulder and see the the window getting caught with the rubber seal, around the window! the bottom frame, and i thought it was just that once so i tried rolling it down which was fine, and as i roll it back up it does the same thing! ive repeated it over and over and now it seems to be slight cut on the rubber, window was rubbing way to much! so now i cant roll up my window with the doors closed i have to roll it up then shut the door! is this easyu to fix? Went to a local dealership but they seemed like assholes that didnt care or didnt know anything about s2000 said that i would have to replace my whole top! but its only one rubber piece? any help please? ill be posting pics and a video soon!

i imagine you could take it somewhere besides a stealership and they could fix it for alot cheaper... perhaps look on majestic and see if they sell that seal. it may be one of those honda BS parts where you have to buy a whole piece for one little part (ie: soft top for the one seal you need) but there are always aftermarket seals! talk to a window replacement shop

You could try putting a little bit of lubricant on the rubber, now that may smudge the glass but id imagine it'd help with the tearing and what not.

just my 2 cents, goodluck
