How to Install a Chevy Window Seal

Window seals in Chevy vehicles tends to go bad very quickly and most shops don't offer any kind of replacement for cosmetic repairs. So, rather than go on with cracked and ruined window seal, replace it yourself. Replacement window seals come very cheap online and at nearly any auto store. The tools you will need can be commonly found as well.

Things You'll Need

• Sharp knife
• Pliers
• Metal scraper
• Goo-gone or other sticky residue remover
• Window seal kit (comes with seals and adhesive)

Instructions

1. Start on each window by cutting a slot in the seal at the top right corner of the window.

2. Pull the seal back and grab it with a pair of pliers. Pull the seal out and away from the metal, tearing it away from its own adhesive. You may have to pull quite hard to get the seal to come loose.

3. Once you have completely removed the seal, scrape the surface with a metal scraper to remove left over pieces of rubber.

4. Use an old rag to cover the surface you just uncovered with Goo-gone. Rub the surface until all of the residue is removed. Allow the surface a little time to dry before continuing.

5. Pull the plastic covers off the rubber seals in your window seal kit. Place the seals adhesive down, starting once again in the upper right corner of the window. Keep the seal as straight as possible and work your way completely around the window.

Tips & Warnings

• You may want to apply a small amount of spray adhesive to the window edge surface before you place the new seal on it.

• Be careful to not scratch your doors or other parts of your vehicle.
