Default Weatherstripping installation

What is the difficulty level of replacing the weather stripping/seals around the door windows and hatch window? Or, would it be wise to let a professional do it?

Thanks,
Ben

Easily done with time and patience. A little more complicated on a roadster than a coupe with the way the top folds. I suggest anyone with some mechanical knowhow, ie can you change the water pump?, can tackle this project with ease.

Good luck.

I see a lot of weather stripping kits, but for around the doors edges not where the windows are. What is the kit that seals the door and window called?
