Window trim

Searched and nothing came up







If you look you can see the cracks in the rubber, well when ever it rains really hard water gets in there and right now my door is full of water in the inside. Does anyone know where I can get this stuff from? For a four door caprice. I would like new ones all around.

Re: Window trim

Clean out the drain slots on the bottoms of the doors (the oval openings).

Check this place for seals:

They bolt to the inside of the doors, you have to remove the window glass to access them. It's not too difficult. Remove the two bolts that hold the glass on to the regulator, and give a slight pull to the glass to derail the window guide. It wouldn't be a bad time to replace those window guides while you're in there; they're cheap from the dealership (I paid $4.00 for both front windows) and if the old ones break, the window 'drops' to one side. The glass pulls out of the door relatively easily.

Re: Window trim

Yeah i've been in need of new trim for a while now. Its so dried out that on the drivers side theres just a big gap where the rubber used to be. And on the back windows they move at a snails pace and i htink the rubber is restricting them. "They also could use a good oiling." Too bad my doors are so rotted out at the bottom that theres nothing to get the doors clogged up.

Re: Window trim

I don't think it will come close to working.

Re: Window trim

never seen those before, they wipe the glass which is cool though, i hate when the side windows get fogged up, especially here in humid florida on an early soggy morning

Okay well maybe modifying the front ones a lil to go on the back maybe?

I know they are pretty much straight then at the end there is the lil curve. Maybe just cut the end off and adjust it to fit.
