What about folding some electrical tape over the part that is inserted into
the rubber seals?  Or would the window being rolled up cause the tape to
peel and stick onto the window?  My new WeatherTechs just came in the mail.
 (The box is VERY long!)  If I end up taping them, I'd rather wait until
they start falling down.
