How do you install weatherstripping on 2003 Honda civic?

Answer 1

If you want to install weatherstripping on you car you have to follow this steps:

Check to see whether the new weatherstripping is the same as the old piece you are replacing.

The piece should be the same shape and thickness and should have holes, channels, and rubber studs on the inner side that match the ones on the original.

Remove any screws and gently peel off the old weatherstripping, prying any rubber studs out of the holes they are inserted into without damaging the paint or scratching the surrounding trim.

If the weatherstripping is hard to remove, spray weatherstripping remover around the area and wait until the adhesive softens before continuing.

Remove any old adhesive that remains on the frame after the seal is gone.

Use weatherstripping remover.

Insert the new weatherstripping into the frame.

Make sure that it fits the holes and contours of the frame. Then gently remove it.

Make sure that the new weatherstripping is clean.

Either rinse it off and dry it thoroughly or use fine-grain sandpaper to remove any unwanted bumps and rough spots.

Apply weatherstripping adhesive sparingly to the strip and to the surface of the frame.

Before the adhesive dries, replace the new weatherstripping.

Make sure that every rubber stud or other fastening device is in its hole securely.

Replace any screws that you removed, and make sure that the ends of the weatherstripping meet and are glued down securely.
