    Yesterday when I was at Troncolli picking up Subaru coolant for my car I noticed that the rubber door molding/seal my rear driver side window had seperated from the metal lip on the car.

    I showed this to the service tech who snapped it back in place, but I was wondering if this is a common problem. Anybody else have this issue?

    i'm certain it's common with all cars without hard frames for the windows. i've always used silicone to fix this problem.

    Yeah, my passenger side rear door had a similar issue, made a strange noise sometimes as well. I had the dealer fix it when I took the car in for an oil change. Not heard it since then, and the seal looks like they 'welded' it to the car now :) It doesn't budge.
