quarter window weather stripping

flattusmaximus78 · April 24th, 2009, 03:15 PM

the weather stipping on the top portion of my quarter window is pushing away from the car. And it seems like the quarter window doesn't seem 100% flush on top either. Is there any particular way to replace the weather stripping here. It doesn't look like fun.

You have to replace the entire glass. Not cheap and that's if you can find them.

Yours is a hatch so it's easier to find than for a coupe.

89Domindart · April 26th, 2009, 05:12 PM

or you can get covers for that

flattusmaximus78 · April 26th, 2009, 05:17 PM

replace the glass? Why there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, or to that extent.

**Chris** · April 26th, 2009, 05:41 PM

It's all one piece...

89Domindart... what cover? I haven't heard of this. My car could use something right there to make it look better.

These may be what he is talking about.

I see, that might work...

Nothing for coupes though... booo

flattusmaximus78 · April 26th, 2009, 06:02 PM

How does the new weather stripping get pressed on to stick?

ryans88gt · April 26th, 2009, 09:57 PM

There is no weather stripping. The rubber is molded to the window and it is one big piece. Even if you got the old stuff off, you would have to have new rubber molded onto the window. It is not replaceable unless you replace the whole window.

The stuff in the link above is just a plastic cover that glues over the molding...barf.

**Chris** · April 26th, 2009, 09:57 PM

The description for those covers say to use a super strong 3M weld... never heard of it.

AJHXXXIII · April 26th, 2009, 10:02 PM

I always wondered about those things, I always figured they were crap but I never knew anyone who tried them.

superbean · April 26th, 2009, 10:03 PM

hey man i got a parts car hatch at my house with decent 1/4 windows, let me know if you need one and ill sell it to ya real cheap.

89Domindart · April 26th, 2009, 10:08 PM

ya you can get covers but they need to be glued or something over the existing molding.

the molding on the windows is a part of the window like ryan says.

I found some windows on ebay I think. it will cost you 400 or so, at least thats what I paid I think

ive seen some guys that sand and paint the existing molding, I tried it but had shitty results. therfore, .......bought the new windows. I didnt want covers either....but hey, the covers are probably pretty cool....

superbean · April 26th, 2009, 10:10 PM

I got two mint 1/4 class COUPE windows for 40 bucks for the pair shipped. Hate me? Ebay rocks haha.

baine21225 · April 26th, 2009, 10:13 PM

the covers get brittle and crack, and a place does make aftermarket 1/4 glass/molding. i doesn't say mustang on it but i've heard it's an excellent fit. i don't have the link because im on my girlfriends computer

**Chris** · April 26th, 2009, 10:29 PM

I had the link a year ago and the place had one pair left and wanted like $450 each.

89Domindart · April 26th, 2009, 10:39 PM

keep your eye out at mustang parts yards

baine21225 · April 27th, 2009, 09:07 AM

i mean that there is a company that produces them currently, as in a new product
