Simple how-to: fix that crappy door trim

Subbing for reference to fix mine.

 

Did mine the other day simple yet awesome!

 

Looks fantastic, I wonder if its only cosmetic? What if you just removed the old stripping and did not put in a replacement, would that leave the car exposed to water?

Regards!

Before and after

 

It really is a quick and easy fix. Grab the old, pull them up, and out. Remember to line up the new clips with the same spacing that the old ones have so that they pop right back into place when you drop them in.

 

I wish mine looked as good as his old ones

 

Thanks for this. Very helpful!! Just replaced my window weather strips on my ‘99 today! Feels like a new Tacoma now.. almost.

 

What will really bring it all together is if you replace your driver side door check...like driving off the showroom floor.

 

What is a door check? Is it pre- 2001-2004 part?

 

The arm that keeps a door from opening all the way to 90 degrees open.

 

It keeps the door open. So the f-ing thing doesn't keep trying to close on you on hills or when you are getting out with your hands full.

This one is specifically for 01-04 front doors. I imagine it is the same for all 1st gen model years, and likely even possibly the preceding Pickup.

 

Or zero degrees.....$&^#%#**!

 

What's a hill?

 

Yep, a Texas Hill.

 

Thanks for posting!

 

Hey where exactly did you get them?

 

Sorry, haven't been here in a loooong time. I got them from Conicelli Toyota, IIRC their parts website was like partz.net or something like that. Been a long time since I bought mine so prices may have gone up. I've been looking to buy another set before they stop making them. They're on ebay & Amazon for about $125 for the full set of 4 for dcab.

 

Just installed my new ones on both sides (my 95). The old ones were at the end of their life. Looks great too

Paid $85 shipped for both sides

 

Great thread.
