Window Exterior Weather Strip Question
Has anyone replaced the weather stripping at the bottom of the window glass?
My glass has very faint markings which I'm guessing is caused by the weather stripping and the fact that the rubber is old and stiff.
Wondering how easy/hard it is to change out.
Thanks

You have to detach the top portion of the rubber door seal (top corner above the door latch) to expose 1 screw. Remove the screw and lift the weather strip off.
The weather strip felt like material can be cleaned with soapy water and a finger brush (or your wife’s tooth brush
) to remove the contaminants (grit) and than reinstalled.
I assume you’re talking about the door windows…. In this case, it’s very easy to remove.

Well you better check the part number for an IS, I was looking at the SC and I suspect the doors are not the same length... I have not replaced mine, but it has been cleaned by the dealer before. I suspect to seat it properly you'll need to the take the entire interior door panel off. For the SC that's several screws, clips, window controls and interior door handle. Don't know about the IS though.
