sorry about that wrong part name last time.Does anyone know how to replace the weather strip on the side roof rail(fuzzies?)door and rear quarter,it seems to be pressed into moulding.thanks.    Scott CLC member Australia

You have to carefully pry it out from the upper side of the piece.  The worst ones are the mechanical weatherstrip flippers--they bend easily and once they're out of adjustment, they won't work like they ere designed to.

As for replacing the weatherstrip, all I did was use 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive and glued them on.

Get a lot of clothespins with the spring in them to use as clamps.

Thanks,I thought that might be the case.I was thinking of trimming them off with a dremal,still a bit risky,then I can glue new ones on.
