issues with window run channel weather strip?

[stackz]

so just recently I cant let my driver side window go all the way down or it gets stuck. I've had to use a pair of tiny vice grips with the tips wrapped in electrical tape to grip the top of the window and then push the switch while pulling to get it to come up and then it will roll up fine.



I looked at the back edge of the window run channel (inside of the back of the door at the junction of the main door and the window channel). I looked and the window channel weather strip itself is indented so the window glass just sorta digs into it there. If I pull forward on the window with thin long flat blade screwdriver the window will come up just like with the vice grips.


question is, how hard is it to replace this window channel weather strip? just looking at it looks like I have to completely tear the door apart almost down to the shell?
