Side Finisher Rubber Replacement and Rear Side Window Trim Replacement

[Alx007]

Hi everyone,

In addition to my previous post, I noticed there is some extra rubber protruding that is not present in the OEM part.

Is this the same on yours?

Thank you,
Alex

Thank you all for your advice on this thread.

It has been very helpful.

I ordered the seals from Matthew Navis and only did one side.

The seal feels thicker (and hopefully more robust).

I just feel that the motor struggles a bit when closing the window now.

It will hopefully settle...


UPDATE:
I heated the new seal with a hairdryer and applied some Swissvax "Seal Feed" and it helped the window opening/closing.

I had this same experience/observation. Nice note on heating the seal/Swissvax, I'll try that when/if I do the other side.

Sweet I'll send him a message about the code. Anything helps nowadays...

Oh damn, there is a code ?
I've ordered all the seals at full retail price

That's ok since it's too late don't bother yourself about it. There is NO “code” as per se but you can email him and if he wants he will give you a code. I tried and he was kind enough to hook me up with a code.

I'll also post some pics with some comparison with the OEM pass/right side I have sitting on the shelf.

Also, anyone know if there's still a discount code? The original NAM3 doesn't seem to work anymore

You have to message him for the discount. He will send you the code.

This is good to know he's providing these. I'd love to see pics of a set if anyone orders them because, as I mentioned, my Gen. parts were a let down.

Damn, his quarter seals went through the roof in price.

So does anyone know why in the hell the price has tripled for these rubbers??

The manufacturer increased their prices and he increased his, im sure its as simple as that.

I'll post them up when I get them.

For anyone who needs to replace both sides, Matt Navis' shop finally has the matte/shadow bottom piece available: https://matthewnavis.com/product/all...r-matte-black/

I guess for people like me who ended up getting the pass/right side, its better to ahve the 1 spare than cracked/missing strip

Yep that's what I did, just made a dumb mistake when ordering and didn't understand what i received.

[dHam_Slow.46M]

Either I'm being dense or these are wrong. Can someone confirm? I couldn't find any other pics of these or issues with them.

Ordered these last year and prepping for install now. The tops of both of these weatherstrips have double sided tape on them. It's not just a protection film, it's double sided tape. From top to bottom on the pic: bottom of passenger side with 2 strips of tape (correct), top of driver side with one strip of tape (is this a QC error?), top of OEM driver side.

I made the same mistake. The ones Matt sells are only for cars that have the extra chrome gloss black trim pieces unfortunately. Was able to sell my set locally but I'm stuck w/o a driver-side bottom rear trim now😓

EDIT: jsut realized he's now finally selling the matte finish sets. hopefully he'll correct the mistake if that's what you ordered
