Thread: Outside window seal cracking... Pics

Ok so is there any easy way to fix this? I cant even find the seal I just figure someone has battled this before. Let me know whats I gots to do and where it is to get em if ya know. Oh this is on my GS but I cant see how a Grand Prix would be any different. Its cracking where you can see in the pics and the actual seal that goes up against the window is just brittle and cracking away.

replace sir, dealership, JY,

roll window down and give it a yank should pop out

Really lol that easy just give it a yank up now that make me happy. Ill go give her a tug right now

dont yank it.. thats the exterior molding, theres screws holding that in.
one on the inside of the door, another under the mirror housing (gotta take mirror off first)

I know this becuase when i owned my 99SE i had to take all the moldings off in order to repaint.

the rubber inside the window frame is yankable.

PS you my freind are a fast responder.

i like rip n pull sometimes.

where in il are you? i have an extra set i could run down there if you not super far

Ok so I take it the door panel has to come off then too? Not a fan of removing door panels BUT looks like it may be so.

no kidding..all three of your guys' post are within a minute lol

to get the mirror off, yes, the first screw is at the base of the black B pillar

Im in Geneva takes me a little over a hour to get to the border of WI. Gas it would be cheaper to ship. PM me a price you would want for em. I have a GS are these gonna be the same?

i have a tool that alllows you to not have to pull door panel.

Just take em off and paint em. No need for shipping of parts.

You lost me after "yes"

how does that tool take out a screw? looks fancy enough lol

2 screws, first screw is under the mirror, second screw is visable with the door panel on, just under the b pillar.. sorry my brain is mush today

yea take out the screws and slide this behind the molding and pull up.

any way OP how far south into il are you? lol

No No see the actual rubber that seal against the window on the outside is cracking away too and thats attatched to what you see in the pics pealing

Exactly, take it off, sand it down, then repaint. No more worries of plastic cracking. And make your own rubber part.

Im not sure on miles but about a hour down 90 and im about 25 minutes from 90.

trust me, ive done it before, pop the door panel, 3 bolts for the mirror (dont need to unhook wiring) on the Outside under the mirror you will see 1 screw, the other screw is on the inside of the door behind the black B pillar.

i dunno about repainting them

Repainting them wouldnt help the whole seal on the window cracking issue and I just dont think would look right. Im gonna check this way out. Not sure what a B pillar is but theres only so many spots this thing can screw into so it should be an easy find. Time to go but some clips for the door I know Ill break em
