Re: weather strip behind head (Bans25)
Process?
Well, you take the old one off and glue the new one on. It's not rocket surgery!
It's called the Halo weatherstrip.
Pull the plastic hold-downs at the ends with a pair of dykes but be careful. You'll using them again. Use a narrow putty knife and a heat gun to lift a corner. Then with this putty knife, big screwdriver and the heat gun with a concentrator on it, heat the glue where it's stuck to the body a little at a time and pull. If your good and lucky the glue will all come up with the old rubber and leave a nice clean area to glue onto. Get some 3M black weatherstrip glue at the parts store. Hold it down with duct tape until the glue sets. Put the plastic hold-down pins back in. You're done.
