Instructions:
- Park vehicle on a level surface and open the vent (wing) window to the service position.
- Remove any retaining screws or pivot bolts holding the vent frame using the appropriate screwdriver or socket; carefully support the vent assembly as you remove fasteners.
- Lift the vent assembly out of the door/frame and place on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratching the glass.
- Carefully pry out the old weatherstrip from the vent glass channel using a trim tool or flathead screwdriver, taking care not to bend the glass or damage the frame.
- Clean the glass channel and surrounding frame thoroughly with rubbing alcohol or adhesive cleaner and a lint-free cloth; remove old adhesive, dirt, and debris.
- Test-fit the new weatherstrip on the vent glass to ensure correct orientation and fit before final installation.
- Apply a light coat of soapy water or silicone lubricant to the weatherstrip channel to ease installation and seat the seal onto the glass, pressing evenly along its length.
- Reinstall the vent assembly into the door/frame, aligning pivot points and ensuring the new seal sits flush in the channel.
- Tighten pivot bolts or retaining screws to manufacturer torque or snug fit; cycle the vent open and closed to verify proper alignment and seal contact.
- Inspect for gaps and correct fit; trim any excess material only if necessary and recheck operation and sealing performance.
