DIY 2003-2008 Corolla Front Window Run and Door Glass...

Hello everyone after reviewing the previous threads on window run replacement, I decided to make a DIY for the replacement I did on my 2003 Corolla. This procedure differs pretty significantly from the TSB repair and you may or may not like the way I do this. I got my window runs from Roman at...

I'm pretty sure that my glass molding is fine, was more leaning towards needing to replace the door weather stripping/molding, not the glass

having a lot of trouble finding the part numbers for this.

 

I think this is what I need to replace, the door seal that wraps around the entire door

Ok. Buy OEM.

The way to install this.

Remove the sill protector and your driver's side kick panel.

Start from the corner of the of the door jamb on the B pillar.

Then, the top of the A pillar.

Then, the rounded corner at the mirror.

Then, bottom corner of the fender.

Then, bottom of the B pillar.

Then, push every inch of the weatherstrip around the door jamb. Push into the sharp and rounded corners to ensure its seated.

 

No, not that either. see my above post. It's the door seal, the rubber molding that wraps around the door itself. The seal is extremely deteriorated. This is the part I'm talking about:

Here, some pics for reference. Can see the rubber is extremely dry,cracked, and deteroriated. What you cant see is when I peel it back, it's physically broken apart and crumbling in places.

 

Ok my bad.

There's a series of clips on the side and bottom. Might have to remove the door panel to get the clips out if they don't come out with the seal.

 

I mean I may have to replace that molding you mentioned above as well, but I think I am going to try to just replace this first. Looks like it may be possible to do it without disassembling everything but I am not sure. There are a few clips I can see, will have to take a closer look later. I may just duct tape some foam to keep pressure between the dash and the door, as it seems to really quiet it down when I stuff paper towels in that gap.
