Any DIY fix for leaking window seal?
So I noticed when it is very cold and starts to rain, the rubber weather strip shrinks and let's in some water into the inside of the car.
I just called Toyota and they quoted me approximately $300 for labor + parts to replace the weather strip on both sides of the car. I am wondering if there is a cheaper DIY fix for this problem. Thanks in advance. |

If I remember correctly, the outer gasket has a void tword the outside, you could try pulling that back and stuffing some weather stripping foam or something at that trim peace. I can't remember which, but I was told that a 4 or 8 gauge lenght of wire will fit in it, which was used to keep the seal from rolling over and bunching when rolling up the window. (an issue for some earler cars)

I gave the A-pillar area of my window a good 20 sprays of water and so far its not leaking. Usually only leaks when its really cold though so we will see.

I don't know if this will help but a lot of Honda guys swear on this stuff called Shin-Etsu to restore seals. But our seals would be fairly new so I don't know...
