I'm trying to do all the little things to de-shit my shitbox (05 corolla s)

How much of a pain in the ass is it to replace all of these side window weather strips? Same goes for the weather seals around the doors
>>
Just sell it and get a 3k civic instead.

2. Buy RSX or Civic Si

>>17281886
fuck you it's got an S and S stands for sporty so my car is sporty, fuck you again
>>
>>17281892
but i trust my car, it's got literally nothing wrong with it apart from peeling clearcoat, fucked up weatherstripping, OBDII code P0171 BANK 1 TOO LEAN, and a mild power steering fluid leak

excuse me but it has in S in the name and a rear spoiler and little side skirts so it must be sporty

nah but for real i'm just trying to make it less of a shitbox for the next year or two before i'm ready to get something good, i've been driving this thing since high school (2007). so i just want to fix up the little nagging issues like weather seals.

nobody has answered my question :(

this board is dogshit OP
>>
>>17282409
This. I've tried many times to start decent threads and they get derailed by shitty overused memes instantly.
>>
>>17282409
nah it's not that bad, i'm having fun
i'm confident i'll get some kind of answer eventually
>>
>>17282431
thats because almost everyone on here either rides the bus, drives their mom's car or owns a front wheel drive economy car and want to feel like car enthusiasts by parroting misinformation since they have extremely limited real world experience
>>
>>17282398

They make rolls of rubber for this. You might be able to find pre cut ones specifically for your car but they're more expensive
>>
>>17282479
yeah see and mine's an S which mens it's sporty so it should be even faster
>>
>>17282510
i thought the S stood for slower tho?
>>
>>17282479
Wow amazing
>>
What is the "s" for is it faster than non s models
>>
>>17281112

My slushbox is rwd thank you very much
>>
>>17282555
It's pretty fast!
>>
>>17281112

It's easy OP.

Buy new ones at the dealer.
Roll down the window, remove old seals from the channels in the window opening, and pull the rubber upward out of the window channel in the door.

Put some dry silicon lubricant spray on the rubber for the new weather strip and push it down into the window channel making sure that it is correctly sliding over the glass. A little patience here, but it should only take 10 minutes total.
Once it is pushed down far enough in the front and the back of the window channel, insert the rubber in the channel along the door frame. No adhesive needed.

It's not faster. It's just a higher trim with more options included plus a stupid spoiler and skirts so that it looks like the XRS. The XRS is the one that is actually faster but they made very few of them and I think boyracers have wrecked all of them.

it NEVER goes this easily.

Either I've got shitty hands, or mitsu's suck balls. I ALWAYS have to pull the door panel and end up pulling/pushing it with window at different heights. Sometimes you can remove the glass and install the weather stripping on its own, othertimes weather stripping MUST be installed with the glass in.

If anybody here has a current gen lancer, roll your driver's rear window all the way down then roll it back it up. If it goes slow, or the window looks weird as it goes up, its under 5 year warranty and they've got an updated part number. protip, they're a pain in the ass.
