Rear window weatherstrip seal designed for GM 2-door hardtop models. This seal works with chrome trim that inserts into body clips to create a secure, watertight barrier around the rear window, preventing leaks, wind noise, and water intrusion that can cause rust and interior damage. Constructed from a durable rubber compound for long-lasting performance, it provides an OEM-style fit for restoration and replacement projects while remaining simple to install for experienced DIYers and professional installers alike.
Features:
- Fits GM 2-door hardtop models (rear window) — verify exact vehicle fitment before ordering.
- Works with chrome trim that inserts into factory body clips for authentic appearance.
- Durable rubber compound resists weathering, cracking, and deformation over time.
- Helps prevent water leaks, reduces wind noise, and protects against rust and interior damage.
- OEM-style replacement ideal for restorations, repairs, or upgrading worn seals.
- Designed for straightforward installation with basic trim removal and reassembly.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-90 minutes
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on level ground and work in a well-lit, dry area. Protect painted surfaces with tape or cloth.
- Carefully remove the chrome trim: use a plastic trim tool or wrapped flathead screwdriver to pry trim free from the body clips, working slowly to avoid bending the trim.
- Remove the old weatherstrip by pulling it away from the channel and disconnecting any retained clips; use pliers if necessary.
- Clean the window channel and trim seating area thoroughly with a cloth and isopropyl alcohol or mild cleaner to remove old adhesive, dirt, and debris. Allow to dry.
- Test-fit the new weatherstrip together with the chrome trim (if applicable) to ensure proper orientation and fit before final installation.
- Align the new seal with the body clip locations and press it firmly into the channel starting at one end and working across. Use a rubber mallet gently if needed to seat it evenly.
- Reinstall the chrome trim by inserting it into the new seal and snapping it into the factory body clips. Replace any damaged clips with new ones for secure retention.
- Inspect the entire perimeter for proper seating and consistent contact. If adhesive was used, allow recommended cure time before exposing to moisture.
- Perform a water test (hose the sealed area lightly) to confirm no leaks and make any minor adjustments if necessary.
