My roof seal is fine, but the door seal on the passenger side is torn and it looks like someone tried to glue it back badly. I bought a replacement seal, that looks to be a one-piece that runs from the door over the roof and to the other door. Should I simply cut the door part and replace that? Or should I replace the whole thing? And if replacing the whole thing does any of the interior pieces need to come out to do that or can I just push the seal inside of the interior pieces? Thanks!
Its very easy. I have never felt tempted to cut and splice. It runs as I recall from near the bottom of the door post on both sides. Noting needs to be removed. I use a light plastic mallet to tap it into place. Sometimes a screwdriver to slightly pry the upholstered panels at the rear of the door opening up and over the top just a little to get the seal started under it.
Just faced exactly the same dilemma and chose to replace the entire thing. That was due to: A) Not knowing if a “patch” would be effective and B) The fact that I’m planning to sell the car in the near future and “Replacing” the seal sounded better to me than “Repairing/Patching” the seal. Regarding installation, I had the shop do mine so cannot speak to what does/does not need to be removed. Good luck. - Dave
