Hey all,
Awaiting delivery of a full set of roof seals to replace the ripped and torn originals. I have looked at how to remove them but it doesn't seem too obvious nor have I found any instructions on forum/online. Does anyone have any info on how to remove/replace them please.

Thanks in advance,

 

Hi.

Is this what you are after?

 

Hi Oyster and thank you for the post. I will try that when I get home. Also replacing the center pieces (both sides) any ideas how they come out?

 

Hi Oyster,
Thank you for that post/information! I need to replace my passenger side seals and this is invaluable.

Hi.

I have only done the front ones. I think the middle ones just pull out of their rails.
To do the most aft, I think you have to do some more dismanteling and take out a screw holding them.
It is essential to keep the seals well lubricated, especially if you use your car in the winter.
Adjusting the window correct will keep out noise. There should be no gap between the door window and the aft quarter light.

 

I have seen manufacturers, (BMW, e.g.), recommend the use of a thin coating of silicone grease on door and window seals. If that is not done, the window seal can stick to the glass and get torn or get pulled apart when the window is opened. Rubber seals can dry out quickly in the desert.
Thanks again.
Charlie

 

David,
I need to do this job also, can you let me know where you got the seals from and the parts cost if possible?

I would also like to know where to get them.
Thanks

 

cost of those individual seals are MINDBOGGLING... $200+ for a 6-inch piece from a dealer with the best online prices. I can't imagine doing the entire seal with anything but a doner car to salvage them from.

 

I found the seals on ebay from a dismantler in the US. Took a bit of searching!
