My drivers side does not want to fit snug but the passenger is just fine. So it might be common.

Try taking it back out and giving the tracks a real good cleaning... unless you've done that already.. you did, didn't you?

You can try a small bit of graphite lube as well.

I hear ya there. Hard to get out, hard to get back in ... my fiance broke mine ... both of them trying to get them back in. Horrible. And, I think with a bit more wiggling you can get them in straighter ... just takes a while

After the a good fight to get them out, putting them in again was the easy part for me. I don't think I had any problems that I can remember.
