installing weatherstripping

[fivespeedsteed]

so it just came in. do i need to take the interior trim off before taking the old off and putting the new stuff on? it doesnt seem to want to come off.

edit. this is passenger door to body

if youre doing the door to body weatherstripping only thing you have to take off is the door sill plates. other than that it will come out easily. if they are original weatherstrips on the car might have to give it a little love pull.

so the other trim pieces can stay put?

 

[89streetbeast]

yes.

you can loosen them up if you want but dont have to.

 

[fivespeedsteed]

[89streetbeast]

I always removed the top metal piece, the door sill plate, loosened the 1/4 panel trim and the a arm trim too. I still had a time getting it to slide under the trim. I'm kinda amazed you were able to do it by only taking off the door sill plate.

its fun but its doable. just have to go slow and be careful so you dont mess anything up

id loosen the back quarter trim piece. Ive bent the piece before trying to get weatherstrip out without loosening trim piece. All it is, 2 screws, sill, top frame trim, and seatbelt torx bolt.

Reason i say loosen, its easier to pull it back over weatherstrip during reinstall.

Same here. I had to pull the sill plate, kick panel, the metal trim across the top of the door and loosen the a pillar trim and the interior quarter trim. Not hard and didn't take but a few minutes.

where did you buy your weather stripping? If you dont mind me askin. Also is it better that the stuff you find at like Autozone?
