The lower window seals on an old car or truck have a pretty important job to do.
Not only does a good seal keep dust, grit, and pollen from slipping down the glass into your door, it also deflects rain and snow—which goes a long way towards preventing rust from attacking the inside of your door skins.
But the thing is, those seals are often the first to deteriorate on a vehicle, thanks to their exposure to direct sunlight and the constant up/down cycle of your windows.
The good news is, they’re not too difficult to replace—and this video from the body repair experts at Auto Metal Direct will show you.
Though the vehicle in the video here is an old Dodge D-Series truck, in our experience the job is pretty similar for a lot of other domestic cars, trucks, and SUVs. Better still, Auto Metal Direct makes a range of individual weatherstrip seals for a ton of different vehicle makes too.
So if your lower window seals are looking a bit rough, check out this video and learn how it’ll probably only take a few minutes to replace them.
Great video, next time could you do a video on replacing a window regulator on an older truck that has manual crank windows
I have a 1973 Chevy Nova SS hatchback and I would like a little help with the window channel weatherstrip, mainly where to start the strip, it just snaps into place and also when you get to the top of the door and the door frame makes a 90 degree turn downward do most usually make a pie cut at that corner?
