has anyone here replaced the rear quarter window seals to stop road/wind noise? Need help finding the replacement seals and instructions on how to replace them. Thank you!

Yidney

Which seal are you talking about?

Ghennes13

Rear quarter side windows. It's the weather stripping. Either the seals need to be replaced or the windows need to be adjusted to stop the wind and road noise.

Ok, so you mean the seal on the leading edge of the glass. Wasn't sure. I'm having this memory (via Rodney) that you can't buy it separately. What's wrong with yours?

Ghennes13

I think they can be replaced separately but I need to know how to get to it. Looks really complicated. Do I need to take the whole window out? When I'm at high speed it's as if the front and rear window aren't snug enough and I can hear noise.

The rubber piece can be replaced - it's A2096700339 (left) and A2096700439 (right). it;s the metal part that comes only with the glass.

Is it glued on? Do I scrape the old one off?

Rudeney

i believe it uses and adhesive, and the new part comes with a new adhesive strip. Note that unless these is physical damage to this strip, it may not be the source of the wind noise - there are adjustments to be made to the window glass:
