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.

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.

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.

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?
 


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

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
 


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
