Window seal replacement

[stevew092984]

Does anyone know of after market replacements for the window seals (part #68162-35010) for a 3rd gen? The OEM’s seem a bit overpriced and I’m trying to find an alternative. If I can’t find a decent priced replacement, I’m just gonna see if I can grab some from pick and pull.
Thanks

Pick n pull is a good option. If the seal is just leaking, you may want to try your luck with some silicone before replacing the whole seal. I used some Permatex recently for this and it worked great.

Maybe seal is the wrong word. It’s the rubber that rubs against the drivers window as it’s being rolled down. The rubber will fold in on itself making me think the felt on the inside has worn out. Hope that better describes the part I’m talking about.

Outer Window Weatherstrip Belt Molding is what you're looking for.
Older the model the less supply & demand i.e. higher price w. less aftermarket availability.

That's called a Belt Molding.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe [MENTION=319302]Bad Luck[/MENTION] recently replaced his. He may be a good source to have chime in on this topic.

It wasn't me. I'm not sure who it was either. Hmmmmm

I did mine not that long ago. Yeah they are pricey online, approx $50 per door. I did the rear hatch one as well and that requires taking the panel off.

Just go get one at the junkyard, these things don’t really wear out that often and are always pretty expensive new. I put a product called gummi pflege stift on the weather stripping on all my cars and it seems to really rejuvenate it and keep it in nice shape
