These things are crazy expensive (stealer wants 290.00 for coupe door gasket), I'm sure lots of people could use new ones, but don't buy them because they're outrageously priced. I see Tischer has them for $222.00. I'd still like to get a better price and think that's pretty steep for a strip of rubber with felt on it. Part no. 51711977727 Anyone interested?

I have two sitting in boxes in my house, can't figure out how to put them in and the manual isn't much help there.

are these for just the felt on the bottom of the window in which the window rubs against.

I need all 4 door gaskets for my sedan.....the wind noise at freeway speeds is driving me nuts. Price has to be reeeeaaaallly good though. OP is right...the prices are ridiculous.

Im IN. I hate the wind noise driving 65mph+ I also had to ghetto fix it with black sealant because the window tore a slit in the driver side....

I put the pax side in last weekend. What a pain in the A$$ it was.

Think I'll wait to do the drivers side when I have a death wish

Its tedious. Obvious thought is to line up the upper corners, but there's more to it. There a hard piece of rubber near the door strike that has to be just right. Too high and it will keep the door from closing, or make it stick.

Make sure you are careful removing the door threshold, I broke two clips.

And you'll want to finish near the bottom middle as if you're not pushed in all the way around completely, you'll end up with "excess" and have to work that back into whatever side you din't get all the way in (Much easier to do there than working with the upper corners that need to be perfect).

Good Luck!
