<VV> Late model CT window seal

For every late model convertible I've owned, the rubber 
vertical seal on the LH rear window glass bulges up along 
the lowest two inches until wind/water entry.

For this current 1966 convertible, I have a new rubber seal 
and cleaned the steel track well, I used two steel plates 
along the channel to press it narrower until the seal just 
slid with hand pressure. It was quite sloppy before. I used 
a thin line of 3M Fast Tack in the channel. Seemed OK for a 
few months but now once again is chronically walking up out 
of the channel with normal door open/close. Yes, I learned 
in the 1970s not to raise the driver window with the door 
latched.

Eight months in, the seal lip is shredded at the outside 
bottom rear edge from being forced in and out of the channel.

Can anyone out there suggest a solution?
