We spent alot of time to get these "right" love the look but this "kit" is not perfected yet...... I spoke with the guy at the opp and relayed all the info from the install and he was surprised he ask "what was the skill level of the guy installing this kit"? My reply "you have no idea how good he is"
How long ago was this? OPP is on revision 5 of these.

1)Page 33 of the fitment/adjustments. Some doors require this.
2)Was this a power window setup, if so, you have to notch the power setup to add the extra "V", I have never cut the bottom stop. E
3)never had this happen, did you verify that they scrapers are flush to the trim when they were installed?
4)Scrapers with clips are coming out and will eliminate the possibility of #3, in addition the video install will show how customers can add clips to the scrapers.
