  • Replacing door weatherstripping

    So decided to replace the door weatherstripping, still original so after almost 27 years I think it’s about time. Plus it’s been leaking from somewhere.

      Got the interior panels out on the passenger side, pulled out the old weather stripping and noticed that I’ll need some weather stripping glue, ordered 3m weather stripping glue black. Some of it is going to be a pain, can already tell. Might have to get some help. Will see , get the glue Tuesday.

        I searched the internet, no write ups on 93-02 Camaro on doing door frame weather stripping so should be fun. There’s 2 screws one on the inside door frame (about where the button for turning on/off the lights and one directly across , there the triangles of weather stripping.

            Passenger side is done, my neighbor came over and figured out how it goes on, time consuming but pretty easy. Going to do the drivers side tomorrow. I had it all turned around, for the side and top, you have to put the little bead into the channel around the frame, he used a screwdriver carefully but I found a plastic edged screwdriver in my tool box so will use that tomorrow. Went to close the passenger door with the new weatherstripping and had to do it twice, it’s so tight now. Hopefully fixes my leak.

              Didn’t get done today, neighbor didn’t show when he said he was. Hopefully tomorrow, I got the side and bottom just need to finish the top, damm memory can’t remember what he did. Once done I’ll post some pics and what I did. Maybe help someone later on since I couldn’t find info on doing it.

                  Finally finished, had to use alittle silicone on the drivers side, just wasn’t sealing right but got it on. Going to let it dry overnight.

                    Here’s the passenger side, didn’t have to use any silicone, in the pic just get the lip inside the door frame for the sides and top. He messed up my drivers side, instead of starting over he made a slit with a razor and it pulled out, going to silicone it. Probably look like crap but shouldn’t leak.

                      Going to pull the drivers side back off and try and redo it. I figured since I didn’t need to use Silicone on the Passenger side shouldn’t need it for the driver side. But for the slit in the weatherstrip might need to silicone it , will still look like crap.

                        Got the drivers side redone but the slit in the weather stripping is messing up the whole weather stripping, using silicone to try and get it seated right. Letting it dry overnight. Then need to silicone the slit, it’s the top corner so not easy unless I want to spend $215 on another set. So trying real hard to fix this. Don’t know why he slit it still pisses me off.

                          Looking a little better, using a good amount of silicone, doing little by little. Almost have the slit filled in. Just doing it little at a time and letting it dry overnight. Hopefully only 2 more times and should be good. Won’t look good but will be functional.
