Rubber seal around windshield peeling

brandobot · 04-24-2012, 03:13 PM

Has anyone had the rubber/plastic seals peel around the windshield? Any DIY about how to replace it?

I did mine. Around $30 bucks and 30 minutes of my time. The seal comes off pretty easy, use some solvent to remove the black goop, be careful of the paint, and just lay out the new seal and slowly work it.

Yes, I did mine too...took longer to get the old one off because it pulled to pieces and I had to dig it out of the groove...New one presses right in. Probably about a half hour to 45 minutes depending on how easy the old one pills out.

Thanks. I'll other the part now. Any website you guys recommend to purchase OEM parts?
