Torn weather stripping
Anyone else have an issue with the weatherstripping on the molding tearing and continuously peeling back from front to rear? I'm referring to the 1/8" rubber strip that is attached to the chrome molding piece that runs from the base of the windshield to the rear window. I have to keep trimming it as it peels back because it flaps all over causing a buzzing noise and staining the paint. Based on the parts image, it appears these molding pieces simply snap in place? If so, it seems like they should be pretty easy to replace. They're $86 each though, which sucks.

My 2010 TL is doing the same thing. I ordered them plus the Windshield molding (which shrank from the sun causing a passenger side water leak) from Acura this morning.

The silver part has a rubber edge. That is that part that is wearing out. My car is out in the sun and it is for sure degrading. Good to know that there is a replace part for it.

1200? That's Ridiculous. I'm gonna Check out Youtube to see if anyone has done it already. Dealerships pricing can be outrageous while Some dealerships can be quite reasonable.

I am having the same issue with my 12. I keep it parked in the garage at home and in the parking garage at work so the car sees very little sunlight. I have gradually taken off the seals cause they keep peeling off with the wind and flapping all over the car around them making a lot of noise when I drive it.

Mine has completely disintegrated. I was finding pieces on my driveway and finally realized what it was. Car is 2012 so am disappointed that these fell apart. $1200 to replace they must be mad.

You were quoted $1,200!? This is a DIY job. I got the left and right side trim from the dealer ($90 per side) and installed them myself. Super easy.

Mine got replaced via insurance. My car was caught in the cross fire of a fight in a parking lot. Glass was thrown, people fighting ON my car...so I filed a clam to fix the damage. all parties agreed that the scrapes and scratches that were on the chrome pieces were most likely caused by the event. By replacing the chrome piece the rubber is also replaced. Just saying... it was unfortunate and fortunate at the same time.

So the dealer wanted $120 per side. Auto parts store doesn't have stripping thing enough to just replace etc.. So I ended up taping the chrome with painters tape and using Black Silicone Adhesive Sealant $8 bucks. Simply cut a small hole in the nozzle lined it up in the groove and just filled the slot in. My car is black so it came out good. Not noticeable unless you are searching for it.

Related issue: the rubber on the door trim pieces is also now peeling. I may go ahead and order all four even though my passenger side is the only one peeling away at this time. $72 each 🤦♂️
