Was wondering if its ok to take all the weather stripping /seals from the..

front window
back window
all 4 doors
moon/sunroof

off and then put them back on or by doing that, does that ''break'' the seal or whatever.. i dont wanna take it all off and then have to replace it.(ill be painting my car soon and i dont feel like tapping all that off

thanks for any help

 

yeah. Doors weather stripping is easy, just be careful not to damage the rubber when removing them. If you are going to paint the car, I would recommend removing window moldings (exterior pieces) as well. If you are looking to have the car looking like it was not painted, remove your door handles, tail lights, and headlights, and remove the seal of the door handle and then have it painted.
Windshield and rear window moldings aren't as easy to remove, I would recommend you to take to someone else to professionally remove the moldings and have them put it back once the car is painted.

 

thanks

 

not a problem... you welcome!
Man I'm dieing to get my car painted too, but I want to have a few things replaced..... but I will remove all moldings and stuff like I told you. As a matter of fact, bumpers, side skirts and mirrors could be removed too when painting, this will assures smooth surface painting even on those parts that is hard to spray when the parts are actually installed in the car.... example... lower part of bumpers, lips and such or the inner part of mirrors.

 

heck ya, im def gonna be moving that stuff to. Saw a car painted one time with out some of that stuff still on the car and u could see alot of the parts where the paint missed (dont know if they guy sucked or it was just by accident) but ya cant wait! hate this damn SE purple.
