Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 45-90 minutes
Instructions:
- Remove the vent glass assembly from the door following vehicle-specific procedures (if required) or prop vent open to access the seals.
- Carefully pry out the old weatherstrips using a trim tool or screwdriver, taking care not to bend or damage the vent frame or glass.
- Clean the channel and mating surfaces thoroughly with rubbing alcohol or a mild cleaner to remove old adhesive, dirt and oils; allow to dry.
- Test-fit each new seal on its respective side (left/right) to confirm orientation and fit before final installation.
- Lightly lubricate the seal bore or use a small amount of soapy water or silicone spray to ease installation. For a firmer hold, apply a thin bead of weatherstrip adhesive in the channel per adhesive instructions.
- Press the new weatherstrip firmly into the channel, starting at one end and working to the other. Ensure the seal seats fully and aligns with glass and frame.
- Reinstall the vent glass assembly into the door (if removed) and check for proper operation, alignment and clearance.
- Allow adhesive (if used) to cure per manufacturer recommendations, then check for leaks and wind noise with a water test and road test.
