"..did not adhere perfectly and started to droop in the heat of summer and caught on the window." I'm really glad I'm not the only one this happened to. The giveaway was the tarry streaks and binding that occurred when lifting the glass. When I took the door apart again to fix it (by then the window had become REALLY stuck--a distinct disadvantage on toll roads) I used solvent/cleaner to make sure the stick-to surface was as clean as I could make it. No problems since. Stephen --- On Mon, 1/17/11, Alistair Bell <albell@SHAW.CA> wrote:

But, and here is the proviso, be careful when you apply to the front doors. My van had some wax on the interior surfaces of the doors and the proguard did not adhere perfectly and started to droop in the heat of summer and caught on the window. Also, as i dismantle that van I can see where it really stuck and where it didn't. The front doors, and above the driver/passenger were drooping. Everywhere else was good.
