Door Window weather stripping
Where can I find the door window weather stripping? I need the upper section on both doors. I'll take used if they're not separating like mine.

Hi Darien:
You don't want to buy those used - they are such a PITA to install, you want this to last until the end of your days! Besides, used ones might have hardened, which would make them more difficult to install.
There is a groove in the window trim, and you have to get the rubber into that. You can lubricate the materials all you want - it's still tricky and time consuming to push the rubber in properly. Maybe someone has a good trick, but I am not looking forward to doing this again, ever!

As a short-term fix to tide you over till you get it resolved, 3M super weatherstrip adhesive will put it back into place so it doesn't flop around, then a quick scribble with a sharpie will make the glue disappear. I did this almost 2 years ago on a short section near the driver's mirror, right where you are pointing in the first pic. There is never any pressure forcing water against it in that location, so it's been fine -- though I want to fix it right one of these days.
