Hello all! I replaced my driver-side front window recently and replaced the window frame guide. After getting everything back together and driving the car I heard a faint whistling at the top of the window which wasn’t present prior to the replacement. Upon inspection I noticed around a 2mm gap at the top right corner of the window frame guide where the window frame guide should sit against the aluminum trim. I tried loosening the 3 compensating socket bolts on the sides of the door and my adjustment helped a little, but I am still left with a gap. My next plan is to heat-up the area with a heat gun and gently pull the area where the gap is… would this be a bad idea? Anyone have any noninvasive suggestions for addressing this?

The frame does seal properly, but I think the outside (see picture from original post) of the frame is misshapen. Do you think heating the area with a heat gun and gently pulling the area would help bridge the gap?
