Window sills faded

[knightbird123]

The rubber window sills on my driver and passenger door are completely faded out. They make the car look like crap.

Is it a difficult job to install new ones?

Can someone help tell me how to install them....

Nope. Peel back the weatherstripping n there should be some screws behind it. If I remember right, that's all it takes...

yeah but the cost on the trim and seals is what gets ya...

can i do this job without uninstalling the door panels?

I had to get all mine replaced on my car about a month after buying it, it didnt take them long at all, but i cant tell you a price cause it was a warranty thing.

if you're talking about the ones on the door and not on the body of the car then no you can not replace them without removing the panels. but that is pretty easy to do with a screw driver and a little force.

oh btw, just a cool thing was when i had mine replaced, toyota initially refused to fix it for some reason, there was a big air leak between the door and window in the corner, and all the trim needed replacing and adjusting. so we disputed like 2 thousand dollars (payed half cash, half credit for car) off the car, and thats when they fixed it, but they never said anything more about it after... so that problem made me two grand

where can i get the Gen 1.5 weather strips for the driver and passenger window?..........looked on the net but did not find any

Simple way to make any molding look and act like brand new.

Silicone. The spray will work but does not last. Silicone grease (Amazon.com) used in electrical and plumbing will rejuvenate the molding and it will LAST.

Wipe it on, rub it in and wipe off extra to use in another spot.

i've used silicone spray for quite a while to help rejuevenate the seals but never thought to use the grease. Nice tip!
