Default C5 window problem

Damn it, I just noticed on my car passenger side that the "weather stripping" I believe is all loose and coming off Where could I take the car to get this fixed ? At first I was thinking the glue probably wore of but at closer inspection it doesn't look like they use any kind of glue or adhesive anyway. I hate little stuff like this, drives me nuts




^^^^ Right at the top of the window that soft black material

Are you talking about the rubber weatherstripping around the upper 3 edges or the trim that's attached to the door? If you're talking about the door, I think it woudl be easy to get new trim and put it on the door... I had my door panels off to install speakers a few weeks ago and it seems like that window trim strip just snaps in.

No, Not the door, on the very top where the window rolls up. Right under the roof.

I guess this is what you need? Sit down before you look at the price. Per side. Gulp.

I am going to bookmark that page. Thanks for the link, the item D is what I would need. First I am going to check tomorrow if I still have warrenty on my car because I believe the previous owner said that it's valid untill December.
