If it's just that inside part of the gasket which appears to be excess material, couldn't you just have trimmed it away? I'm thinking that the gasket material that is actually between the door and the window is the only area that matters.[/quote]

It will fray but shouldnt fray on the gasket between the front of the glass and door. Mine eventually wasnt even touching the glass on the inside it was flared up made it easier to clean didnt have to worry about hitting the gasket.
