Post by 06boblee »

Does anyone have a link to a video or some photos on replacing all of the door window weatherstripping- and channel runs?

It's been a while, but I think there are four Phillips screws, two on either side, top and bottom. I think the access panel needs to be removed as well as the glass panel.

Not too bad of a job, use a lot of penetrating oil, and use the right sized phillips head screwdriver(or socket). Now to round up the replacement parts!

question about edge. Should it be bent back like these are? I don't think so, anyone know?

back to the bent edges. (see last two pics) Both of my doors have the ends of the lips that the window wipes attach to bent away from the opening. This seems wrong, but maybe it is right?
Need some opinions!
