Weather Stripping

[vdub916]

I was curious if anyone knew of a good place to get Weather stripping for a Window Track. I am planning on replacing my Window Motor and Scissor Arm Assembly and want to replace my Weather Stripping in my Window Track being that it is hella jacked up. I have looked at Kragen (not extremely thoroughly though) but only seemed to find generic Weather Stripping for door seals and things like that. Any Ideas?

Tasauto.com has a lot of stuff for the CB7. The link below will help you locate something.

Awesome thanks for the link! I will have to check it out and see what I can find.

Is the weather stripping folding under when you roll down the window? Mine does that, so i trimmed a little off with a razor blade. It might be easier than replacing the entire weather stripping.

some parts are falling off, some folded under, some seem to have some sort of muscle memory deal going on where they stay kinked in an awkward position. At any rate its not really helping to keep the window in the track at all, if anything its encouraging the window to slip out of the track. I just make sure that i dont roll my window down all the way and have to guide it up the track straight to get it to roll up right. Hella ghetto but it works for now.

One little thing I found helped a lot was silicone lube (100% no petroleum).

Spray it on the tracks and on the bottom inside seal if it folds over (wipe off excess). It helped my window roll up straight (I used to have to force it back into position, even after playing with window regulator) and with less strain on the motor. I haven't had to reapply since the start of summer.

It might recondition the rubber, but I'm not sure.

Of all fixes, it's the cheapest and easiest, worth a try I think.

Good Idea, yeah right now theres not much strain on the motor rolling it up. At this point the weather stripping is just kinda FUBAR and the bearings on the scissor arm that lifts the window are so worn out that they dont really hold the window straight.

The silicone spray might help. I just would NOT use it on tinted windows. Give it a shot and see what happens

Hmmm, Im not quite sure what a window run channel is

it is the complete rubber piece that goes in the door frame were the window goes up and down ....

Oh lol, yeah I guess i got the terminology a little wrong on that one. Yeah thats exactly what I need. I wouldnt expect that to be too expensive, but then again I have no idea. Just looked at the TAS Auto website and it looks like its $68 FTL

Yeah, TAS Auto is pricey. It would be the best route to change the entire piece.

I guess we'll see if just the new scissor arm and motor assembly works good enough without replacing the window channel or any of that. I just want my car a little more secure, it tends to get broken into alot out here.
