what did ford just do?

ok, so i picked up this tinted rear slider out of a 99 ranger that was turned in for the C4C program, and so i put it in my 2006, and i noticed my 06 rear window had a couple of extra studs on the window(no problem) but what i noticed is i have about a 1/16 of an inch gap between the cab,a dn the rubber trim on the window... now did ford change the rear window sill, or what?

If you want to run them get a dremel and do some trimming then prime the bare metal.

i cleaned the old seal out, and cleaned off the surface it mounts to on the cab, and installed a new seal that was thinner then what i used last time thinking that was the problem there, but still doing the same thing
