Door weatherstripping on Honda civic is definitely available in most shops with car accessories as well as on some internet shops. The problem is how to install it without professional help, for instance at the mechanic. Here are some functional and instructive guidelines:

1. First of all you have to measure the vertical height of the door jamb. For this, close the door and measure the height from top of the jamb to the verge of the doorstep.

2. Once you have taken the measure, transfer it onto the metal piece of weatherstripping. Make sure you have located the contoured part of vinyl weatherstripping pieces properly, that part is specially designed to fit against the header piece of the weatherstripping. Use the opposite end for cutting.

3. Now cut the metal piece or strip with hacksaw at the marked spot. Using utility knife cut the vinyl tube in accordance with the metal strip.

4. After cutting the metal strip and vinyl tube, take the piece of vinyl tube and placed it firmly against the door and the jamb. Take a metal strip and fix it to the jamb with the help of screws. Fasten the screws properly. Don't over-tight the screws, once you feel the screws wrap up tightly stop fastening. Over tightening can give dent to metal strip. So be careful.

5. Now repeat the same process with the axle (hinge) side of the door jamb.

6. You are done with vertical part of the door; now start working for horizontal part of the door jamb. Take the necessary measurements of the horizontal width of the door jamb.

7. For metal strip to perfectly hold the door surface, proper measurement is very necessary. Apply the measurement you have just taken to the metal strip and modify the strip accordingly.

8. Cut the marked ends of the metal strip off at both ends with hacksaw. Take the vinyl tube and cut it with utility knife of same length as of metal strip.

9. Follow the Step 4 to install the weatherstripping on the horizontal width of the door jamb.
