Quarter Panel Window Weather Stripping.

- Wed Jan 16, 2008 1:54 am #37781 Hey guys/gals, the car i've got is a 93 Si Hatch. Currently I dont have any weather stripping on my quarter panel windows. I got some from Honda the other day, and its near impossible to put it on while the window is there! This leads me to think that the window has to be removed to put on the weather stripping. Do you have to remove the window to put in the weather stripping, or have you guys put it in w/o removal of the quarterpanel window? Feedback is appriciated, Thanks!

- Wed Jan 16, 2008 2:43 am #37788 I pulled mine off when I painted my car, and it was very hard to put it back on. I still cannot get one of the sides on perfectly. I started by the door and went all the way around stuffing little by little in at a time with a flat head screw driver. Bot dont use one with a sharp tip, dull will not tear the rubber. do about 6 inches and then do 6 inches on the opposite edge. this will prevent there from being a lot of extra slack when you get to the end.
