Weatherstrip Update!

Just to let everyone know they still don't have an updated part for the weather strip issues on the windows. It seems to be cold/wet weather related. I am working on using some minor adhesive to hold the part of the weather seal that is seated in the door in a more secure manner to prevent it from being pulled out. I am also going to use some rubber conditioners to try and keep the rubber pliable. I recently took mine to the dealership and got it replaced and they confirmed it was the exact same part and 15 minutes later I experienced the same issue again.

Just wanted to update everyone. Guess we wait for them to collect more cold weather data and get us some better all weather parts!

Yup -- I had to have the window gusset replaced not long after buying my BRZ as the rubber was torn.

We've only had freezing temps briefly here.

Anyone have any pictures of these failing seals? TTIWWOP

Got mine replaced after I called Scion Customer Experience complaining, no more issues in cold/wet weather. Also got a $300 good will rebate on services/items from the dealership, so thats one good thing about putting up with this issue.

A rubber conditioner works with the natural rubber structure to help keep it pliable in colder temperatures and typically more resistant to UV rays.

There are tons of products out there in the automotive marketplace regarding "rubber conditioning".
