Default Door seal issue

Theres a window "seal", i guess you would call it. Its on the outside of the car, its a long black rubber strip. Apparently the end of it (towards the back of the door) does not want to stay flush to the car. I'm guessing this is because of the windows going up and down more on the driver's side, eventually tearing it up. I've tried buying other window seals and playing with the clips but nothing seems to really WORK. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can provide pictures if necessary.

I think I'd buy a built LS7, that might solve the window seal problem.

Try getting a picture of it and I think it will help with the quality of responses.
