Default weathered window rubbers

Would like to restore my rear window rubbers.They have become quite weathered,any suggestions or is there any place that sells them. Acura has discontinued them in Canada.Seems like you get the complete window assembly ,Also do the USDM ones say Acura or Honda.

They would say Acura. Google "Acura OEM parts" and pick one of the online dealers.

That's what I thought as all Integras were made in Japan.

Not 100% correct. Right off the top of my head: wheels, seats, airbags/airbag covers, bumpers and badges

I mis-spoke. If the original part says Acura the OEM replacement part will say Acura.

you cant get rear window rubbers.. they come on the glass at about $150 a side. you can mask off the car scuff them good and spray them with trim paint.

You can use a detail product called ClearKote Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze.

clearkote dot com

You rub it on and you'll remove the dried black rubber. Let it dry and rub it off. You will need to repeat a few times, to get as much of the dried rubber off, as you can.

I did mine 3 times and now regularly once every month.

What I did on mine was tape them off and used a red scotch pad from auto paint supply store and wetsanded them with simple green and then went over with a real fine sand paper. From there you can either use duplicolor flexible bumper paint as it is made to adhere to thermoplastic rubber or you can use a product like back to black if you choose not to paint them.
