Default 93 Civic Hatchback rear window seal replacement?

Hello, I'm trying to find a rear window seal replacement for, what I'm assuming is number 13 https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuin...8-sr3-000.html .

I noticed today that along side my already leaking rear wiper seal that the plug right next to it was also leaking. I have already contacted my dealership and they told me they weren't able to get the part. All I want to know is if anyone knows a good aftermarket solution for this. Thanks in advance!

I should also say that I don't want the little hook thing (#14).

Also, is someone happens to know how to remove it, that would be great too, I have no idea how to take that bolt out lol.

Use the Honda part numbers of interest to search on eBay. Maybe you will get lucky.

Did you also try a Google search with the part numbers?

I did and the only thing that looked some what promising was an amazon listing for $20, but with no picture of the part. I would gamble, but alot of the parts I saw under that part number when I googled just showed #14.

While expensive, Amazon would be low risk because returns are generally trouble free. And if you pay with PayPal, they will pay for the return. Also be sure to enter your car information on Amazon.

You made a great point so I was about to go buy it and it said it was going to take 1-3 months lol. I'm probably going to try and find another alternative before I wait for that lol.

I see this a lot with amazon and discontinued parts, give a super long lead time then eventually come back and say they don’t have the part. Did your dealer try a nationwide parts inventory search?

The 97-01 CRV has similar rear window components. You might have better luck tracking down a seal for a CRV and using it if it is still available.

EDIT: Something like this? https://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com...1hbnVhbA%3D%3D

That looks like the seal for the lift handle. Which my car doesn't have, I have this stupid bolt thing and I can't seem to figure out how to take it off, if I could just buy a seal like that, I would do it 100% do you happen to know how to take it off?

If you remove the plastic case on the back window (2 Phillips screws on the bottom) and split the plastic case, there should be a 10mm nut on the back side that holds that black plug. The black plug and lift handle share the same seals, and essentially serve the same purpose of securing the rear striker and wiper motor assembly to the rear window.

Update, I actually was able to figure out how to remove this seal on this bolt. If anyone knows where to find this seal, please let me know!

I can only speak for myself. I have made many Amazon purchases, and Amazon made all returns easy and most also free.

In addition, Paypal currently offers free return shipping for all purchases made with PayPal. You just need to sign up.

I was gonna go the whole route you did 'but this isn't about you' like you did on me in another thread but its not worth it

But yeah,had an issue with a 3rd party on Amazon. I had to jump through hoops cuz this ******* said I didn't return some brake pads even though I showed pictures that they were in the shipping box including the 2 rotors. They received the 2 rotors but the brake pads were missing.
