Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has replaced their weatherstripping around their front windows? Both my drivers side and passengers side leak air around the windows. I was wondering if I need any glue/sealant, and where you guys purchased it from. Also, has anyone replaced the weatherstripping around the trunk?


Thanks for the help

 

Let me ask you something: is your outer weather stripping for the front windows really damaged or is it your window that is actually over the weatherstripping?!

I've seen lots of accords.. 4th and 5th generations... with the windows rolling over the outer weatherstripping. It happened to me as well after I had changed my window motor/regulator... ......the windows would go up and down.... but when going up... the would "get off" the track and start rolling over the weatherstripping, which cause a annoying sound of wind hitting it after 40 or 50mph.

 

I have a 5th gen 94 accord lx. On my LF window it would do both. On my FR the outside of the weatherstripping is permeantly roll in at the top. Did you replace the weatherstripping? Where did you get it from?


Thanks

 

Actuallly, I had to remove the door panel, and adjust the window motor and regulator... seemed like they had not been in the exact place.... after that... windows started to work normal again. I also, cleaned the rubber channels for the windows (the rubbers that run on each side of the window from top to bottom)... because they had dirt trapped in there, which made the sliding of the windows even slower. I sprayed some WB40 to "lubricate" them a little, but I've heard that just cleaning and leaving the rubbers without any grease or oil is just as good.
But, if the rubbers are cut, and/ or the rubber is missing small pieces along the way, the window will most likely go over them. So, in fact.... i had to replace one of my rubbers, called "window channel stripping".
