    Anyone have information on upper window seal replacement

    Hey,

    I'm guessing some folks have replaced their upper door seal, my drivers side is going bad and I think it's time for a change. How big a project is this, I'm a decent wrench, but haven't done much with window trim.

    Any advice or is this something that should be left to the pro's??

    Thanks for the input all, any advice would be appreciated.

    Are you talking about the main window seal? If so, it's easy to remove. I installation takes some work. Search the internet for procedures, someone fully documented it, it might be on bigcoupe or this site. Basically you need to use dish soap or some type of lubricant, and slide the seal into the channel that goes from the front pillar to the back pillar. Takes a little muscle, but its not a very technical project.

    Thanks Dmac, I remember seeing that somewhere. Looking at the blowup on real OEM it looks like it may be screwed in on the top, do you know if that's correct?

    I'm going to see if I can find that write up.

    Thanks,
