Default driver's door seal

I need to replace the door seal on the driver's side. The passenger's side looks new.

Where is the best place to buy a door seal?


Thanks,
Emerald

I just replaced the same side, but mine was the passenders one. It took me ages to clean out the old crap too.
Make sure that once the new seals goe's in just slam the door and walk away for the night. Honestly, it's worth it.
Easy job though.

I've had a new one sitting in my shop for at least three years...

If you want to convert it to cash, shoot me a PM.

Mine looks the same, unfortunately. It's right where your foot brushes across the threshold as you get in/out of the car. Take some pics and tell us how hard this DIY is, as I have a suspicion it might not be "fun"...

Given that, I might follow the lead of our venerable AOW on this one.

I'll bet if the door seal had been coated in Cosmoline, it would have been fixed long ago...

Hey Keith,

I'll definitely do a quick write up upon completion.

I did this a couple years ago, and it was laughably easy. A while later, I saw a write-up that entailed cleaning out the goo, then being somehow particular about laying down new glue. Bah. Just rip the old one out, squirt in some glue (Pep Boys), shut the door, and come back in a day. Done! Seriously easy. Not even a one-beer job.

I do need to replace the one in my car. The question is when...

You, Sir, are correct.

Why bother, it it's not at least a one beer job?
