Default Outer Door Seals ...???

Anyone ever change out your outer window door seals? I'm wondering what exactly is involved. Anyone have good detailed instructions? Two from MidAmerica are 59.99. Mine are not too bad, but could be better. Any help....Thanks in advance. JOHN

I would suggest getting the book 101 Projects For Your C4. It has a section on how to do it. I intend on doing mine sometime early next spring.

In the section, it tells you the tools you need, dissembly tips, reassembly tips, and other useful tips.

They are pretty easy to replace once you get the door panel off. You can get new, original GM seals here for the same price.

Not too bad of a job. I did inner and outer door seals earlier this year. The first door probably took a couple hours to get the process down. The other door, probably 30 mins for the whole process including removal/installation of door panel.
