need new wheather strips

i've recently got my windows tinted with felt installed but now the felt is coming off the weather strips and glue is getting all over the inside of my window. I want to replace the weather strips but dont know where or how much it would cost? any ideas?

thanks

First, you might be able to clean the glue off with WD40 of Goo Gone?

If you want to buy some new ones, look at the following website:

http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...prddisplay.jsp

It is listed in the "Front Door Lining" pull down selection.

Item 20 for the right door

Item 21 for the left door.

About $14.00 USD each.

Best regards

Good moleskin (felt) should not mess up your weatherstrips with glue oozing out. It might be better (and cheaper) if you got good moleskin, removed the old moleskin, cleaned your weatherstrips, and installed the new moleskin.

One of our vendors, flnsx, sells moleskin.

I agree with Ron A. It is easier and cheaper to remove the current strips and clean them off (use goo gone or something like that) and then put new moleskin on.

Yes, goo gone should take of all of the adhesive. You can get it from any hardware store like home depot.

You need a screwdriver and pliars will work to get out the plastic pins. Take off the door panel, pull out the weatherstrip, clean it off, replace it.
